[So] Multiple monitors/PCs

What do u guys use to setup ur shit? Anyone using a switch of some sort?
I read about the Matrox Dualhead2go but they go for $150, and you gotta have identical monitors running at the same resolution, not really worth it in my case.

I'm basically trying to hookup my PC and 15" unibody macbook pro to a 720p TV, and a 24" monitor. If possible I'd also like to have both my PC and mac hooked up to both at the same time (or as far as I know the mac only allows one external monitor), and have a switch so I can use both screens for PC or Mac at my choosing.
My TV only has 1 HDMI input, while my monitor has a DVI, VGA, and 2 HDMIs.


Any ideas?

If you want to control everything w/one set of inputs without fronting $$$ for a KVM switch, use: Synergy

holy shit that's sick

well that gives me a new option, still can't hook up both the screens to my laptop but at least use the same KB and mouse, maybe i'll just buy a minidisplayport to HDMI cable for my 24".
Any other alternatives?
 
This seems excessive. Why would you need to have your laptop be on a monitor like that while you have a perfectly good desktop hooked up at the same time?

It's possible sure, but just doesn't make much sense.
