Okay, so I have my Xbox 360 connected to a DVI-D port on my monitor via a cable that also connects to the HDMI port on the 360. This also happens to be my only monitor, and so the problem is switching between my PC and console without the hassle of unscrewing the DVI connector each time. I realize that I need a KVM box, but I dont know what kind, or what cables i'll need. So seeing as how I never used a KVM Switch Box before, I need some assistance...Also I prefer Amazon or Newegg because I already have accounts there, but if a good one could be found at a reasonable price elsewhere then id consider it.
