Try amazon.com, newegg.com, tigerdirect.com, radio shack web site, etc.

You might also check with

www.cyberguys.com  (I get their catalogs but have never done business 
with them.  They have a lot of connectors and switches of various 
sorts.)
www.partsexpress.com  (They  have expensive shipping and mostly audio, 
but are a big place with lots of parts.)

You need to know what kind of connectors that you need to have on the 
switch.  (Depends on video cards and monitor.)

Subject: [PCBUILD] Monitor switching


I have a friend whose computing area space is extremely limited. He 
uses one
pc for his graphic designing, movie production and music mastering. He 
is
very happy with his system and doesn't want to risk corruption from the
internet ( I feel the same about my "work" machine) so he uses a second 
pc for  the
internet. However, he only has space for one monitor and has to shut 
down  one
pc, connect monitor to pc#2 then boot that one up.
 Is there such a thing as a "switch box" of some kind to switch  between 
pcs
without the constant plugging and un-plugging which can't be  good for 
the
contacts or the life of the cable?
