Re: 1 computer with 6 screens /keyboards/mouses?

If "affordable" is part of the equation you're a lot better off buying some used wireless laptops or new netbooks and running MSTSC or another remote control program to access the main computer. Good KVMs are notoriously overpriced, and the cabling would be a hassle.

Agreed. Why not just pick up a 2-3 year old POS laptop off of Craigslist or something?

Honestly, it sounds like you're overengineering the solution here. You don't need a monitor/keyboard in every room when a laptop with a wireless card can follow you from room to room. I'm guessing all you're looking to do is surfing/mail (?) and you don't need a super-fast laptop for that.

We could use the £5,000 to buy a spoon. And then fill up with ice cream.
