Is it possible to have two PC systems, but one keyboard and one mouse? Usually only one will be one at a time, but they're both next to each other, don't have the space for two keyboards and two mice...so a switch of some sort will be useful.

Yes, there are two ways.

You can use a kvm switch, you plug the monitor keyboard and mouse into it and plug it into the two pc's, simply flick the switch to control one or the other pc.

You can also use vnc which allows networked pc's to view each others screens via the network as if you were sitting at the remote computer. Unfortunately vnc is too slow for games so its best for remote moniotring rather than remote controlling.
