can i use one monitor for more than one pc ?

i couldnt find a more relevent section to put this in, but i need to use a few pc's at the same time that are all connected to the internet and all doing tasks, can i use just one pc to monitor what all of them are doing ?
i need to use the keyboard and mouse as well as the monitor for all the hard drives, but is there a way to just use one monitor (and one keyboard and one mouse) for all hard drives and monitor what each one is doing and change etc what they are doing (by using the one mouse and one keyboard)

thanks

 

the easiest way to handle this is with a switch. search newegg

 

thanks, but what exactly would i be looking for and how would it work ?

 

hello
thanks for that, ive found a few on ebay, but they dont have many ports, but why do you say "they usually cost more than they're worth"

as i was looking to buy one.

thanks

 

thanks again, i will take a look at that software, it looks like the same sort of thing that pc support desks use when they acces your pc to find out whats wrong with it.

about the kvm, i thought you meant there are problems with them.

thanks

 

thats unbelievable.
im going to take a proper look at that software, i just took a quick look before, but it looks incredible now you've shown me that.

thanks

 

nope, its good to see in above pictures.

 

you should try team viewer, if you have internet on both pc`s (very easy to use)

 

They are know as remote client support consoles.One of example for it is logmein rescue.You can use it for free for 1 month.

 

thanks, i had a look at that, but it says you can only have it connected to one other pc on the free version.
and the paid version was hundreds of euros.


but thanks very much anyway.

 

thanks, yes thats what i thought, i had a look at the url that Kerosene gave, and its basically exactly the same, but its completely free, and i think you can use it on as many pc's as you want - thanks
