View Full Version : Yet another dealextreme good deal (KVM switch)

I needed a switch so I could use a pair of old slug computers for a web server and backup server using only 1 monitor, 1 keyboard and 1 mouse instead of 2 of each.. I'm going to interact with them 99% of the time via VNC anyway.. I needed a kvm (i.e. keyboard/video/mouse) switch.

Only 10.61 at dealextreme.com .. doesn't include cables or the 9V AC adapter but I've got nearly everything (in a box somewhere) already.

Hasn't arrived yet but mine is on the way.

I have been looking at KVM's for many years, but this is the first time I have ever seen anyone call them a keyboard, video, mouse.
it's almost hard to believe that after all this time I just learned what that stood for, I always thought it was the name of the company who made the first one or something.

and that is a really good deal on a kvm switch.

what do you mean,
get one of your old computers out of the closet and hook it up.
that's what I do.
I just wish they made a 16 port KVM switch
so I could set up some of my original PC's or XT's,
and maybe an AT or two.
