I came across this cool software KVM.
http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/
Its open source and doesn't cost anything. All you have to do to switch between computers is move the mouse off the side of the monitor and mouse just kind of scrolls over to the next computer. It works with multiple OS's, so you can switch from a windows box to a linux/OSX box by moving the mouse from one screen to the next.
I've seen it in action and used it myself, I have to say that it is very responsive. Its hard to tell that the keyboard and mouse aren't hooked up natively to both boxes.
It works as a client/server set up and communicates over IP. You install the server on a computer with a keyboard and mouse attached, and install the client on a computer without keyboard and mouse. Then you just have to set up a config file on all the clients and servers indicating the screen layout.
