    Disaster recovery

    Here's another option: Purchase an external DVD burner (starting from $80) E.g. DVD RW Drive and purchase a pack of DVD RW disks (from $15) E.g. DVD RW's With this option you have these benefits: [tab]? Low Cost [tab][tab]? The whole solution could cost less than $100 [tab]? Flexibility...

    Beyond KVM's - Multiple PC's to Multple Monitors

    fair point skiflyer...checked out that card and it is a good price, I would have to upgrade motherboards and most of the other hardware in order to use that one though as I don't have support for PCI Express. I did start looking at the other card options though and think I may have found the...

    Beyond KVM's - Multiple PC's to Multple Monitors

    ah of course, I see what you mean now... bit more searching and I found this that should work (albeit it a tad more expensive) http://www.matrox.com/mga/workstation/3dws/products/triplehead2go/overview.cfm

    Beyond KVM's - Multiple PC's to Multple Monitors

    that's what I was thinking. having 1 video card in each PC, then the cable would go from the card to the splitter, then 3 vga cables from the splitter to the kvm's/vga switch attacted to each monitor would this solution work?

    Beyond KVM's - Multiple PC's to Multple Monitors

    Frank I did see the $2,500 price tag and thought that although it will provide what seems to be a perfect 'out of the box' solution, it is currently out of my price range as it $1,800 but one for the bookmarks just incase I come into the right money ;-) Skiflyer, I found this on Maplin's site...

    Beyond KVM's - Multiple PC's to Multple Monitors

    ah, there's a thought...there's only one monitor cable coming from each computer so how would I connect all three computers to three separate switches? I'm thinking that I'd need another 3 junction boxes that would take the incoming video cable from the PC and then output to the 3 switches...

    Beyond KVM's - Multiple PC's to Multple Monitors

    thanks for the info and links. in answer to your question, yes I would like to have that option, as well as PC3-V1&V2&V3 (ideally any combination but it's then down to costs) I'm not sure how this would work though...those switches connect multiple PC's to one monitor from what I can see, but...

    Beyond KVM's - Multiple PC's to Multple Monitors

    Is there anything available that would allow me to hook up three PC's to three monitors so that they could all be interchangable? One keyboard and mouse would then be used to control any of the three PC's at any given time with the flick of a switch. For example, I'm working on a website, i've...

    New Domain - Unable To Change Client Domain Name

    Hi all, Can anyone help with this? I'm not sure if this is the 'right place' but it is related to my new Win2k3 PDC so I hope so... I recently upgraded my server to Win2k3 and at the same time I changed the domain name. Now one of my PC's is unable to join the new domain. The PC is running...
