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.

$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.
