Basically, I've been given an old PC and I'd like to control it from the same set-up as I do my mac - I've got no space for more montors and keyboards.
So, for the past two days I've been searching for a cheap KVM switch that will allow me to use my USB keyboard and mouse to control them both. The problem is - things are incredibly expensive here in the UK. I can get a PS/2 KVM switch for about 20 quid off of dabs.com, but not a USB one - the cheapest I've seen is over 80 quid.
Can anyone help me out? Someone in the UK with an old one they don't need, or even someone in the US who could buy one and send it on for me (obviously, I'll pay the postage fee's, and add enough money for a few beers to say thanks etc).
I've seen some nice cheap ones on
eBay (buy it now price of $24.95!) and the one talked about in
this thread (Iogear 2 Port Compact USB KVM Switch) is about $52 on buy.com and amazon.com
Any help in this would be much appreciated - I'm assuming that someone buying one for me in the US and sending it over here is legal, since it's done on eBay all the time...
Thanks again.
edit: I should add that I wouldn't like to spend more than �50 on the whole lot (shipping fees etc included...) - and that's really an absolute maximum. I'm not the richest of people, hence this thread in the first place
