Cables To Go 2PT AUTHORITY2-MICRO KVM WITH AUDIO ( 29561 )

Summary: Costs less, works best
Review: Most KVM switches do not support audio switching (in the modern multi-media world, this is an often over looked requirement for a desktop KVM) and cost much more than this Cables to Go unit. I spent over $20 more, in fact, for another KVM with audio that only got me a unit with a defective audio chip and slow help. This one costs less and works great. Pressing Scroll Lock twice and a up/down arrow switches between the two computers - I wish that only the Scroll Lock key was needed. Considering how much Windows likes to reboot and be consumed by I/O intensive processes as well as the cost of new Hyper Threading Extreme CPUs, two low-end computers with a KVM switch is a cheaper way to stay productive. At work, this type of configuration also permits separate networks for security (one computer for the financial network and another, say, for machines with Internet e-mail access); viral and other rogue network hacks cannot spread through a KVM switch (the perfect "air gap" firewall).
