one monitor two pc's

hi could somebody tell me if it is possible to use both connectors on a 24" dell monitor.
I'm in the process of builder a low power PC that i can just use for surfing and downloading so will be on most of the time,my power hungry gaming machine on when i need it.Before i go out and buy an expensive dvi kvm switch i was thinking of using an old wireless keyboard and mouse i've got and connecting both pc's to the monitor useing the dvi and d-sub cables and changing the display via the menu button on the monitor..
Will this work?..... :confused:

Yes, it should work fine.

Yup it works fine. I have a Dell 2405 and a Xerox XA7-192i hooked up to my main rig via DVI, and my server is also hooked up to the Dell 2405 via the VGA cable. All you have to do it press the input button, and it flicks over to the other machine.
