I would like to know how I can hook up one monitor to two separate computers. I just bought a new computer, but I want to keep my old one just for games. So can anyone help me here?

You'll be needing a KVM Switch.

Keep in mind a lot of KVM switches won't work with monitor plug adapters (DVI - VGA) and some trackballs
