a switch for my monitor

[psd99]

hi I am looking for a switch for my new monitor never used one of these at home before!

I am going to run a xbox elite on the monitor too, so that it is easy to go from dvi on the pc to dvi on the xbox. I could indeed stick the pc on vga and xbox on dvi, but then if I can find a cheap switch then it'd be worth it.


so what kind of one do I need?



thanks

ah but I would only need it for DISPLAY ie no keyboard and mouse...

I don't think the one that Flops reviewed would be suited in this case, if you only need a DVI switch.

You can get a simple DVI switch very cheap on ebay:

Or, more expensive at Maplin:

I was going to suggest the one at Maplins but it is quite expensive.

RS do one as well but that's even more expensive

May be worth checking out CPC/Farnell.
