    You're looking for a KVM switch.

    I use an Iogear Extreme (pricey, at 130 at Fry's) but it's a USB model, with audio switching, and it comes with the cables.

    IMO, your best bet with one is to get one like that. Audio is not /necessary/, but it's certainly nice especially if you have a nice set of speakers you'd like to use. Definitely get one that has buttons to switch input destinations, rather than just hotkeys, since they don't always work right.

    I use mine to switch between a Mini and my PC and it works like a champ, even with my MS wireless keyboard/mouse combo.
