Two Computers On One Monitor

I have two computers. one I use as a server and the other I use as my main machine. What I want to have is a switch box so I can have one monitor for both machines, switching between the two when necessary. I must be able to purchase one, I have seen them for two computers and one printer so where can I get one. PC World hasn't got any and didn't want to help. I live in England and would rather shop here if possible.

Cheers

Scaley

Here's one place : NT1. I'm sure there's lots of others....what you're looking for is called a KVM Switch.

Here is a much cheaper Linksts 2-port KVM Switch that's been very well reviewed in several PC magazines. NOTE: it looks to me like this does NOT support USB keyboards or mice (makes sense since there's no way to load the USB drivers in such a simple switch... at keast in THIS MODEL- perhaps more expensive ones are more USB friendly).

Good luck, and tell us how it goes- I'm considering buying one of these babies myself. :-S
