[ale] Cheap KVM switch

  anywhere right now...]

I recently had to build a setup for switching control of one CPU between two 
remote KVM stations. Since this arrangement is the reverse of the usual 
single KVM, multiple CPU's configuration, I had to search a bit for properly 
gendered switch box and cable components.

After spending about $100 on a manual switch box and some long run RGB cables, 
I found the last few hard to locate extender cables at Austin. I also found 
out that they had absolutely everything else I had bought for the project at 
(literally) half the price. (Which was a bit annoying, because I actually 
went to look for the parts at Austin before shopping anywhere else; if they 
were still open on Saturdays, it would have been a one stop, bargain basement 
deal!)

HTH!
