  1. I am looking for a DVI switch box to go between the cable box and computer. So I am just looking for video, no KVM. Does this exist. I have seen one for HDMI at monoprice, but that is the closest I have seen.

    Sorry, should have explained a little more. I am looking to put 2 sources, computer and cable box, into my projector.

    So I want to use DVI out of the comptuer obviously over VGA and then I want DVI out of the cable box over component for quality reasons. So I am just looking for a simple switch box for DVI, manual and everything I just don't feel like paying $200 for something like this.

    $200 is relatively inexpensive for a DVI switcher.
    A quick google shows them between $450 and $550.

    You don't need live switching. There may be a simple wired switch but it may require you to reboot the computer. Swapping cable on a patch panel may be the cheapest way to go.

    See this article for the issues.
