Well, I realize that KVM's aren't the best solution... but I wouldn't be using them how you might think. For controlling the characters, I would be using a single wireless keyboard that broadcasts to all 5 characters, and I'd base my spells/macros based on that. With the KVM, the thing I'm looking for is simply to be able to see the screen of seperate machines at seperate times, as well as use the mouse when I need to (like selecting a flight point).

I don't feel that it's necessary to have a monitor for each character... and though its cool, I'd rather save the money. I plan on building some mid-grade athlon computers (3-4, depending if I decide to use my current secondary computer in the setup or not) and at $300 a pop, I'd rather not add another $150 for a cheapo LCD monitor for each.

I dunno, I have to pick my battles. I also have to pitch it to my wife that I want to build at least 3 new computers
