I'm after a KVM switch, but having some difficulty tracking down one with the right feature sets/

Firstly I need it to be DVI / USB, I really don't want PS2 / VGA.

Secondly, I need it to be able to support dual monitor setups.

Anyone got any suggestions?

I've never ever seen a KVM that supports dual screens

The dual screen part is actually not a deal breaker now that I think about it, in that it's only going to be one monitor into the switch at any time, so the second monitor can run straight from my main PC.

Aten CS1784 if you need a 4 port switch or there is an Aten CS1782 2 port switch which is cheaper and will switch (up to 7.1) channel audio as well.
There is a review of the CS1782 at Hexus.
