How can I share 1 monitor and (hopefully) 1 ADB-keyboard btwn 4-5 Macs?

I have some older Macs which I only use for rendering LW projects. Its certainly not the best render farm, but every bit helps.



I would like to stack all of the machines under a desk and have a single monitor and keyboard up top which can switch between them. At the very least, I want to share the monitor. If each computer has to have it's own keyboard, then so be it. At least I can easily move these out of the way when they are not in use.



I've seen these things advertised b4, but I don't know what they are called. Any advice?

    Poke around and see which suits your setup(s) the best.

    Thanks for the links. I'm going to run them by my boss.
