    You will need a KVM switch. They allow you to run two computers on one KB, mouse and monitor.
    Any good computer supply place would stock them.

    Yep, using a KVM switch. You plug your keyboard, mouse, and monitor into a switch box, then plug cables into the computers. It's all done without software so it's OS independent. If you're using a USB keyboard or mouse, make sure the switch will support USB.
