Probably the easiest option for you would be one of those switch-boxes that allow you to use one monitor with multiple computers. I use one here which I obtained whilst a student at Aberdeen University for �10 and I'm still using it. This one is a four-way one that switches keyboard, mouse and screen at the same time, and I currently have three ways used, with the fourth available for when others bring their computers round for me to fix for them. In general, they turn up at the various computer fairs that appear every so often, usually around the �10 mark, but very rarely turn up in normal computer shops.
