I was looking at some on NewEgg. It appeared that several would support multiple monitors, although I could be mistaken about that. Most of the USB-only ones support shared speakers, which would be a big plus.

Haven't had any cables go bad. But I need one KVM good for not only two computers: a PC and a Mac, but for two monitors feeding each computer as well. I have several two computer KVMs, but they only feed one monitor. I have the computers set up now in separate locations, but I would rather it be in one place. Anyone heard of such a KVM? It would need to use the new connections for monitors. And USBs for k/m. Oh, and carry sound as well. Once you go with two monitors, it is very hard to go back... -----Original Message----- From: John Aldrich [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, May 26, 2011 11:22 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Desktop KVM switches No, I didn't know that... Thanks! Makes me feel better as someone else on another list recommended Avocent. :D My main concern is that the cables could go bad. I've read some reviews where the cables were bad out of the box...which could put a serious crimp in my plans to retire my old PS/2-only KVM. :D -----Original Message----- From: Kurt Buff [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, May 26, 2011 11:13 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Desktop KVM switches Don't worry about the proprietary nature of the cables. Those are part of why those units function so well. In case you didn't know, Cybex later became Avocent, and they are still the best KVMs around, in my limited experience. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
