Is it so hard to find a rackmount KVM that has both USB and DVI connectors on it? A 4 computer KVM would be pretty cool, but I'm having a hell of a time finding one. Anyone familiar with any? Care to share? ;)

I took a look at this Canadian store that has most everything. . . but the only good one I found uses vga. Linky. . . (http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=7320&vpn=GCS124U&manufacture=IOGEAR)

*Not* DVI, but the best looking rackmount 4-port/USB switch I've seen:

[edit]: Wait a minute...that 'rackmount' is just a plate with a hole cut out for one of these (http://iogear.com/main.php?loc=product&product_id=139)! Well shit.

This (http://www.kvm-switches-online.com/f1dd104u.html) Belkin model is fairly inexpensive. Not rackmount obviously, but not too bad looking.

Not rackmountable, but it would probably fit on or in a rack if it's less than 1U wide. How professional does this rack have to look? :)

I have a custom built studio console that has three 4U rack bays at the desk level, so I'd have to look at it all day ;) With that belkin design, I don't see how you could fit it into a 1U chassis and have all the ports, front and back, easily accessible without some added re-wiring.

We have Raritan (http://www.raritan.com/) KVM's at work. They're pretty hard core, and probably really expensive, but definitely rack-mountable.

I use the two port one between my Windows XP box and iMac G4, really a great product. :)
