    Based upon these instructions it's possible to run two computers with one monitor. Can 2 PCs use the same mouse and keyboard with similar switchbox's?

    yes. You just need a KVM switch. You'll need to specify if its PS/2 or USB.

    I've got one here and one at work.

    4 computers... one monitor

    $90

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817810007

    You can find them for less. You can get 2 port (2 computers), 4 port, 8 port and Up

    The reason I listed the one I did, is because it also comes with the Cables needed.
