Switch 2-port KVM switch with 3 monitors

    I'm looking for a DVI/USB KVM switch that will allow me to switch between two computers.

    My console, however, needs to have three monitors:
    - Monitor #1: displaying video coming from whichever computer I'm currently controlling via the switch.
    - Monitor #2 and 3: Constantly showing identical video coming from computer #2.

    Any suggestions?

    [​IMG] For the KVM switch - you can use any 2-port DVI-USB KVM switch.
    Connect computer #1 to the KVM switch (USB + video) port A.
    Connect USB only from computer #2 to the KVM switch port B.
    Connect video from computer #2 to a 4-port DVI video splitter (such as the VS164).
    Connect video output #1 from the video splitter to the KVM switch port B.
    Connect video output #2 from the video splitter to monitor #2.
    Connect video output #3 from the video splitter to monitor #3.
