KVM Switch

I now have to PCs in my room however using two mice and two keyboards is a pain and I don't really have the room for it.

I was thinking of getting a KVM to link the two up but some of them seem to be expensive and there seems to be lots of different features.

Can anyone recommend a basic KVM for linking up two PCs to one mouse, keyboard and maybe a monitor, two if possible.

PS2 Keyboard, USB Mouse.
DVI and HDMI monitors.
Audio if possible but not a must.

The spare system will barely be used, it would just be nice to get it all up and running and working. May use it as a server.

One would be fine, two preferred obviously but I'd rather save the money.

Might be better going for cheap usb keyboard

makes for less cables

one cable to each pc with vga and usb

I have a PS2 to USB for my MK-50 somewhere.

I'm guessing HDMI KVMs are expensive?

If this is the case then I'd just use RDP. Anything else really is a waste of money

Is RDP something like that Synergy program? Because that stopped working when I tried to install something or ran another program.
