One VGA to find them, One Monitor to bring them all, And in the darkness bind them 
Geeky puns aside
I'd like to connect two PC's one monitor, what is the cheapest solution under £10, a KVM Switch or a D-SUB splitter although the cables would need to be very long?
I have no need two run two computers at once, it's merely to save me the energy of switching the VGA input from one computer to another, every time I my sister needs to use the old PC.
The monitor in question is an old LG L204WS-SF 20 inch Widescreen TFT.
Side note must bug my sister to upgrade her monitor 1680 x 1050 with a GTX 670 madness.
