I stewed in my chair today... thinking about why should I buy a new computer, JUST for another arcade box. I already have a computer!

I found this.

It's the cheapest one I could find at the time. Shoot me a message if you find one cheaper.

The CS-201 CONSOLE SHARING device will allow switching between one computer and two keyboards/mouse/video. For about $200, much less than a new computer.

The dissadvantage is, your computer has to be close to your cabinet, to link the two together into the box.
