[SWLUG] advice on kvm switches please

[Foeh Mannay]

I have a 4 port Belkin one which is a few years old now, but the video
didn't degrade at all that I noticed through it, even at 1600x1400+.

Also, the PSU that came with it was never actually required, even when
only one or 2 PCs were live on it. Which is quite something considering
it was attached to a wireless keyboard & mouse receiver, which also
powered off the PS/2!
