Is there a device that can hook up a mac mini to the same monitor that my pc is using with the ability to switch back and forth without turning off either computer?
thanks

Do a search for KVM switches.

I used a 2 port KVM from Belkin, The cables are built right
into the switch. If you buy from another company most
come without cables. I need to get USB to PS2 adapters to
connect the Mac Mini's keyboard and Mouse. I have a mac
mini and a windows box, they have been using a windows
keyboard and mouse along with a samsung 17 inch flat
screen monitor. The switch and adapters came from best
buy, but cyberguys.com has them too
Good luck
Joe
