Multiple computers are very common on today`s business or home desk, wich all have their monitors, keyboards and mice. If you dont have a expensive kvm switch or a really BIG desk you should take a look at some cool peace of software named Synergy. It can help you connect all the computers to one keyboard and mice over ethernet and save you lots of space and money. I am so pleased with it that I had to mention it on my blog. Here are some basic info from their official site:
