I have 2 servers in my office (1 PC and 1 Unix), but want to implement a monitor switch to utilise only 1 monitor.
Does anyone know if this can be down and what switch i need.
The server is a Sun Ultra 10
cheers

The Sun monitor will have a different plug to your PCs VGA socket, I don't know if Sun make KVM switches but if they do they wont be cheap, or a third party KVM switch with a VGA<->Sun frame buffer converter.

I don't think the Belkin model mentioned above is what your looking for, as you still need a Belkin KVM switch, as this is just a convertor for the Sun Keyboard and Sun 13W3 connector. In fact as you've got an Ultra10 it won't have a 13W3 connector and will have a conventional 15pin-D VGA type connector.
If you don't mind having 2 keyboards on the desk the easiest option is to find a monitor with 2 inputs (thats what I do) or simply buy a mechanical monitor switch box.
