Looking for a good KVM solution

As many know I build and repair computers for side work. Most of the time I have a dedicated station for plugging everything in, but I have decided that I would really like to consolidate everything along side my primary desktop.

There are a million two port KVM switches online, some expensive, some cheap, some with the old fashioned A/B knob, some without... Anyone have an opinion on a good one? Two port DVI, USB and audio support would be a good idea too.

Thanks.

    Belkin makes good KVMs, but they're a bit on the expensive side. However, I've never had a problem with one.

    I've generally gone StarTech for my KVMs in the past. They're usually reasonably priced and I've never had a problem with any of them. This one might suit your needs.

    For a bit more, you could step up to this model: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817707142

    In fact, that one looks pretty tempting... to the point where I might actually buy it for home use.

    The only caveat on that second one I linked is the fact that you have to use the supplied cables for audio and the supplied cables are DVI-I not DVI-D.... that can be fixed with an adapter though...
