fyi....If you are now looking at a different approach, may I suggest a look at some of the viewsonic monitors, mine is a VP191B (off top of head) which as 1 dvi and 2 vga connections, thats 1 monitor on 3 computers! (good selection on www.overclockers.co.uk normally), that would just leave you needing KM switch (or KVM but ignore the weak V part).

Ive used a lot, including installing data centre solutions for a large bank, talking units from £50 to £10000, and to be honest they are not great.

Have you thought about a software solution?  ie using remote control software over a network?

I think this will work out much cheaper for you, and you will probably be happier with the results.

Biggest problem ive had with kvm is picture quality, its ok for business apps, but not much more than that, another issue can be the mouse, they often need re-syncing because the mouse doesnt match the cursor movement.

If you want to take this to PM i may be able to recommend you some software.
This solution may or may not suit your requirements, If you can have 1 computer on, to use to access the others, then its fine.  If you want to just use computer 3 today, 4 tomorrow etc, then its not so good.

Well, it didn't sell again!

I wonder if they will drop the price before re-listing again

No probs,
Teased the previous owner a bit asking 'awkward' questions
not advertising xpc etc, bit naughty.
Got fed up in the end and said 'best if I just see the car to see if it fits my needs'
didn't bother though, cos could see they didnt want to budge on price.
If I could have quickly found a buyer for my mazda I would have probably had it at the original £1300.

I can't get at all my pm's from vxon to tell you more sorry cos my old id 'kind of' got banned for pm'ing anyone who started a topic like 'new omega owner needs help'  .....guess someone didnt like the help I suggested.

Tis a guaranteed good car that one, nearly bought it a few weeks ago....

The history
boozy_nights's old car from vxon, ask him about it.
he got rid cos he (well his wife,) needed something bigger.
sold on ebay for 1300
bought by a 'sarahs_angels' I think who kept it about a month
not at that funny looking dealer who sells more busses than anything!

here are some 'old links' to it
search on boozy's posts to see its problems.
Ive spoke to him since he sold it so he would have no need to alter truths about it.
off top of memory 1 heated seat doesnt work, 1 rear seat doesnt match.

previous sales of this car...

I have to agree to forget about them,
I've PM'd a few new members suggesting they will get more / better help here, not suggesting they shouldnt remain there or anything, but no names I PM'd ever arrived here, and someone obviously took offence and 'dobbed me in' and got me banned.  No trouble to re-reg I know, but I wouldn't waste time over there.

I pop in there most days to see whats for sale or if anything useful is about, but there rarely is any more.

Thought about getting some black silicone sealer, and fill the gap that way, with a bit of practise you can be neat with that stuff.


Failing that some 'ronseal no more big gaps' does exactly what it says on the tin!

Presume you have all registered on www.pipelinecard.org when it ever kicks off could be a nice little saving.
Just discovered shell still do 'points' although doesnt seem advertised, local garage should have a leaflet.

I know none of these mean much, but every little helps
(which reminds me tesco's doing 5p off a litre again with your shopping)
