[QUOTE="IanCT, post: 98891, member: 6074"] Having successfully already done this, I can tell you you do not need a USB keyboard or USB mouse. If you have an existing PS/2 connection equipment, it will work thru a KVM. AND the MacMini has the DVI port, BUT it comes with a DVI to VGA adapter. So, that said. My father-in-law bought a MacMini on my advice, and a Belkin 4-Port KVM switch at Frys Electronics. The KVM has audio AND USB ports on it. On the input side, you plug in your PS/2 keyboard and mouse, monitor, and speakers. On port 1 thru 4 you plug in your computers, in the case of the MacMini you just run a single USB cable from the KVM to one of the USB ports on the MacMini. USB carries the data of both keyboard and mouse from the KVM to the computer. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
