Multi Console and PC speaker configuration? Help.

For a while now I've been gaming with either my PC headset or 2.1 Pair, and my 360 is hooked up to my Viewsonic VX2260WM via HDMI (PC via DVI). I've been using either my Tritton pair of headphones or the crappy monitor speakers for this.

My question is, without the use of an amp- is there any way for me to unify my PC and 360 to this single 2.1 speaker system (3.5mm connection) without having to constantly unplug and plug extension leads from the back of my monitor?

Balls, dunno why I didn't think of that. Cheers. Don't think I've come across many that are long enough, but could possibly remedy that with an extension.

Hmm only £8 not bad, so how do the connections actually work? Is it 3.5mm line from monitor and speakers to the switch? Picture of it's rather confusing since it doesn't show much.

Hmm just got it and it doesn't seem to do the trick, problem is it's got 2 outputs on it so it seems like it either switches to my PC speakers or it looks for another output. Could you send me a picture or something to show how you've set it up?
I've got speakers and mic in one and the monitor in the other, don't understand how you could get em working when they're both output ports :S
