Is it necessary to switch both monitors from one kvm? It seems like it may be cheaper to get 2 KVMs, one to handle one monitor + everything else, and a second just to handle the other monitor (this could even just be a "dumb" DVI switch.) This may even be preferable depending on the purpose of each computer (have one monitor displaying stuff you need to keep track of on one computer while working on the other computer.) With VGA, there could be a downside of the video signals coming through differently (either affecting the color or the fuzziness,) but with DVI, it shouldn't be a problem. Sounds like a fun set-up!
