So I've found a cheap DVI switch online that I want to buy. Had enough of going behind the monitor to unplug cables :mad:

The thing is, would it be possible to combine two of these switches so that I can get 3 ports out of the one on my monitor?

So, in my case:

Switch 1 outputs to monitor, with input 1 as my PC and input 2 being the output of Switch 2. Switch 2 will have my laptop and my PS3. When I use my PC Switch is left on input 1, when I use either my laptop or my PS3 I use input 2 and choose accordingly on Switch 2.

Not sure what I typed made any sense... but if you did get it, what do you think?
 
so you mean one dvi switch in the monitor and another switch in the first switch.

it probably will work but would it not be easier to run something through the VGA (assuming the monitor has one).

Click to expand...

Taken up by the 360, lol.

It's either this or invest in a new monitor... this (if it works) obviously wins money-wise.
