-> See other msg.  I recommend you "think KVM switch"  I think
I recently
-> saw a 4-box  "automatic" one  with full cable set for $45 or so.

I have one of those IOGear 2 machine Automatic all in one KVM switches.
Kicked myself for not getting it sooner. 
Sure is much better than all the hassle of seperate cables and
manual switches. 
In my case I use it for Computer Upgrade transfer of Data Files. I had
thought of using a USB Hard Drive instead of the USB transfer program
but this way the Data only has to be moved one time, Old CPU box to New
CPU box.
