VGA KVM switches are quite inexpensive, but it would seem that DVI models (with USB) quickly go up in cost, and reliable ones seem to be priced around $100.
One I'm looking at right now is just a shade under $90:

But it gets decent reviews.
Anybody have other recommended models I should consider? The other option I'm partially considering is getting another keyboard, using a spare USB mouse I have, and hooking up the 2nd computer to the VGA input on my Dell LCD. Price-wise, that'd be the cheapest, only requiring the purchase of a video adapter for my Mini and a keyboard. But, it would add a 2nd keyboard on my desk. Of course, I could just slide it out of the way when not needed...
