I've had good luck with the Belkin OmniView 8-port... got it from
TigerDirect for something like $375. It can also take Sun or Mac adapter
dongles.

You probably already know that cabling is the big killer in Ghosting...
pccables.com sells shielded coax VGA cables that are guaranteed not to
ghost. I've got to 1280x1024 with no ghosting... 1600x1200 is pretty much
useless to me as I've got really bad eyes.

Haven't tried the Sun adapter, but the mac adapter works quite well. Just
got one off eBay for $50.

Anybody know of a company that makes GOOD KVMs, that dont result in
ghosting/shadows when using resolutions of 1024x768 and higher?

I have yet to find one that didnt cost $500+.

Should have VGA/HD15, and PS2 keyboard and mouse.
