Computer Hardware By gmon3 on 5/25/2007
KVM Switches allow you to reduce desk clutter by sharing a single keyboard, monitor and mouse among mutliple computers.  The IOGear GCS1764 is a 4 port DVI KVM switche that also features independent USB and audio switching.

Even though LCD monitors with DVI inputs are widespread now, there are not a lot of choices for DVI KVM switches.  Out of the few choices out there, the IOGear GCS1764 seemed to offer most of the features I wanted:

One console controls 4 computers
Independent (asynchronous) switching of KVM and peripheral USB/audio ports
Fully compliant with the USB 1.1 specification - supports transfer rates of up to 12 Mbps
DVI digital and analog monitor support - fully compliant with the DVI specifications
Computer selection via front panel ...
