Well, I'm going to start the discussion.

The rationale behind this was:

- There is a KVM in the machine room
- It is four-port and has only AT keyboard connectors
- It sucks. (Switching video signals is horrible.)

While non-wheel members of the club may question the need for what will
essentially be a wheel-only item, I think that the fact we can
dramatically reduce the amount of clutter in the machine room will allow
to stick more crap- er, machines and other stuff in there. It will also
allow wheel members to be more efficient in dispensing justice^W^Wfixing
things.

$250 is not a huge amount, either.

My 2c.
