[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 1938179, member: 56231"] Thank you Patrick, your input is much appreciated. Scenario: •Two Minis at this work station, M23 and M18 •One S'sung 28" monitor via dedicated HDMI cable •One Mini (M10) on a separate desk with a S'sung 22" monitor - used occasionally for older apps. I use an ethernet cable slung up a wall, across the ceiling then down to the router. It works well with the available (o-cable) speed. It is well within length limits. For printing I use •a Brother monochrome laser, connected via USB cable - works well •a Canon MG inkjet printer connected via USB cable, it also operates on wifi if I can get the setup right. Mouse - Rapoo wireless x 3, one for each Mini, toggling isn't really necessary Keyboard - Apple bluetooth compact (+ other random b/t k'boards). Essentially, tho not ideally, I can pull-and-plug cables like ethernet and HDMI seeing the M18 sits atop the M23 atop a Promate cooling base. I've managed so far to avoid arcing from the HDMI plug. I shall investigate HDMI switches further. One of the two I have does work, but erratically. EP [/QUOTE]
