I am looking for a product or an idea on how do properly design/build a KVM switch that will do the following:

1. Has dual moniter support. Now that Xfree supports dual moniters for linux and win98  does, switching between them without it is a pain in the butt.

2. With a printer port setup also. I realize that I could use an auto switch but I am currently running two printers from 1 computer off a Belkin AS/2. Hell maybe even dual printer support.

I realize that I could probably setup a network but here are the problems:
1. The one printer is a HP 612c and doesn't have a network port. This is my color printer.

2. Setting the computers up on a network is nice but I don't have room for 4 moniters on my desk nor the money to buy the extra two.

I realize the price on some of these KVM switches can get up there in price too. Ultimately a 4 port of the above design is what I am looking for. A 16 port Cbyex at $800 is nice but it doesn't have the features I want even at the price.
