I have a machine at home for my personal use. I also have a machine for work. I have a pair of DVI monitors. An ideal set up for a KVM switch.

Sadly the cheapest switch I can find that will switch 2 DVI monitors is nearly £300.

However, I can get, for just £40, a switch for a single monitor.

Is there any reason why I couldn't employ 2 of these much cheaper switches? My thought was to have the keyboard, mouse and one of the monitors in one switch and just the 2nd monitor in the 2nd switch.

Logically, I can't think of a reason why this wouldn't work, but I have no real background to be able to say, definatively, whether or not it would.

It it makes any difference, both machines are running Win7.

Appreciate any thoughts.
