I was thinking of doing the 1 Wireless Mouse to 4x Recievers - and then maybe a seperate mouse to just KVM switch a basic usb or ps/2 mouse to whichever pc needed to be manually 'moused' on.

I am thinking I want to go for as much of a hardware solution as possible vs software - in case of OS compatibility issues and for simple ease of use I guess.

I like your idea of having a 6th machine - one that runs your media/your thottbot/msn/irc web browsing above your main game window.

My gf is going to have some questsions when I turn our study into a Nasa Control Center hehe.

Is it OK if I PM you a list of hardware that you could check over for me Xzin?
