Advantages: Build quality, flexibility Disadvantages: Too few USB ports, a bit pricy
In a world where server virtualisation and remote login is becoming increasingly common, it's all too easy to forget the humble KVM (Keyboard/Video/Mouse) which allows a single keyboard, monitor and mouse to control two or more PCs. For home users with a number of PCs or small to medium sized businesses, there's still a need to control multiple machines from one place without cluttering the place up with all the related paraphernalia. Furthermore, KVMs remove some of the security risks that can arise when enabling remote access.
Here at home I have various PCs I use for testing, editing and so on so I was pleased to get my hands on a new 4 port KVM from Aten. The Masterview CS1774 is rather more than the basic units you might find at PC World though - it has a number of interesting and useful features over and above the basic ability ...
Advantages: Indestructable Disadvantages: An invitation to jump off
. Its been in our garden constantly for 1.5yrs and it still looks brand new (well apart from the mud stains), will resist all weather. Also the slide is made from very strong plastic and when I say strong I mean it can hold an adult standing on the steps...and not a small skinny adult. It holds me, and I'm about 12st
The only disadvantage with the slide is that as the child grows, they get more daring. My son has a habit of standing on the top then jumping off...so parental supervision required to minimise accidents!
Overall a very good buy at under £20. Long lasting, strong, colourfull and not to big or heavy. A must for children and a must for parents - you'll have hours of time to relax now! ...
Advantages: well written, engaging story Disadvantages: Difficult for younger children to read on their own

Manufacturer's product description
The CL5708M Slideaway LCD KVMP switch is a control unit that allows access to multiple computers from a single PS/2 or USB KVM (keyboard, video, and mouse) console. A single CL5708M can control up to 8 computers. As many as 31 additional KVM switches can be daisy-chained to the CL5708M, so that up to 256 computers can all be controlled from a single KVM console. The CL5708M offers a space-saving, streamlined approach to KVM switch technology by integrating a keyboard, 17" LCD monitor, and touchpad in a 1U rack-mountable sliding housing. For added security, an optional fingerprint identification system can be used to control access to the CL5708M, and the servers under its command.
