Subject: RE: [ukha_d] 4 port USB KVM
switch for £50
I
found mine in Huddersfield - around here Bradford, Huddersfield, Harrogate,
(but not Leeds) have stock. PCW can identify local branches with stock
for you if you give them the part no (last nights closing stock
figures).
The cost is £47.97. The Belkin part no is F1D104USB and the PCW part
no
is 294265 - I am going to pop out and buy a couple more for some people who
emailed me directly who also said their local store had none. If you want
me
to get one and send it to you I will - I can't promise the bundled free
mouse
versions though and I guess the postage will be £7.50 ish but will charge
at
cost. Leaving in an hour or so though so you'll have to respond
quickly.
Kevin
PS
please note the comment Nic made in this thread re the on screen display
and
the hot key switching not working if you use a USB master keyboard - you
have
to use a PS2 one apparently - I hadn't realised this. There is a front
panel
selector switch though. I suspect this stock is being moved to make way for
a
USB V2 version.
i went in to the store but never saw it there.
will check again
what store have you seen it at Kevin
?

switch for £50
Seeing as
there's often posts here on KVM switches and cheap sources I have just
noticed that P C World are doing the Belkin 4 port Omniview USB
KVM switch for £47.97 at the moment - that's half price according to
their stickers although last time I looked at these I am sure they
were £129 or £149 in there.
Includes a
4 port USB hub and also a USB to PS/2 covertor. Note these are
USB switches - they attach to your PC via a monitor and USB
cable although you can control all the PC's with either a USB or
PS/2 keyboard/mouse as there is a convertor built in. You can mix PC's
and Mac's and probably any other platform that supports USB I guess.
On some boxes there is also a free USB three button mouse included -
this is marked via a sticker on the outside. No cables are included so
you need 4 USB cables and 4 video cables - I suspect the in house
recommended Belkin ones are expensive though.
Seems good
value - ideal for monitoring a bank of MultiTainers
!
