I am trying to re-work my current set-up and I found this KVM switch at TigerDirect and am on the fence. The price is a little over the top but the features sound like what I need. SO I thought I would see if any of you have tried this switch or something similar and might have alternate solutions.
Here is the problem. I have a nice desktop editing station with dual monitors, an older station (with dual DVI out) I use for graphics design and print serving (when my primary is rendering) and a steady client who is about to send me a high-end laptop for their editing and web support projects (with dual DVI output.) I would like to link everything so that I can share the same monitors, keyboards, mouse, and speakers and keep my resolution at 2560x1024.
Here is a link to the item:
Iogear 4-Port DVI KVMP Switch w/ 7.1 Audio&Cables at TigerDirect.com (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4543370&CatId=3484)
and another to a review:
Gaming Nexus - IOGEAR GCS1784 - Review - by John Yan (http://www.gamingnexus.com/Article/IOGEAR-GCS1784/Item2072.aspx)
Does this look like a good solution or are there better ways to achieve this?
