Hello experts
I just had to say goodbye to my old desktop friend. I totally fried it after pluging it into an European voltage without having changed the power supply switch (I just came back from USA)
What a tragedy!
anyway, the reason for this thread is this gives me now perfect excuse for a new setup. Let me explain what I want to do.
My goal is to be able to share the same set of monitors, keyboard, mousse...you can imagine, with the two PC systems.
Only one of them will be on at a single time.
I obviously have lenovo dock station but dont wont do the job for the desktop.
I have read something about KMV switches (like this one) and universal dock stations (like these) but I have to admit being confused and not clear about what hardware I should purchase to meet my goals
Hopefully you guys can help me out here. I have searched the forum but I am probably now more confused (people saying this is not possible, there are no universal docks, not clear on the difference between the KMV switch and the universal docks...)
Thanks a lot in advance!

- I have two HP 22´´ monitors
- I will buy a new desktop (as small as possible, I dont need too much power for it)
- A Lenovo Thinkpad P51
