Computer VGA convert to DVI KVM

[jag_man653]

My backup computer has only VGV output. Any way I can connect this to a DVI KVM?

You can get a USB video card with a DVI connector but the cost may not be worth it. I don't really see any VGA to DVI converters.

I don't think that's what I need.

I have a monitor which will accept VGA or DVI. I have USP keyboard and mouse. One of my computers has a video adapter card with AVG and DVI outputs. The second, older machine has only VGA out. The KVM I'm thinking about will have USB connections for the keyboard and mouse, and DVI for connecting the monitor.

The problem is there's no way to connect the KVM to the VGA of the older machine.

It will be cheaper and easier to replace the KVM switch than to find a way to convert VGA to DVI.

Probably same price would be a low-end video card with DVI/HDMI output for your older rig.
