DVI switch port?

[eLus1ve]

Basically I want to use my Samsung 226BW for both computer and PS3(HDMI-to-DVI cable) uses because I live in a tiny dorm room. Thing is, the monitor obviously has only one DVI port and I don't want to unplug and plug the cable everytime I want to go from the computer to the PS3(vise versa.)

So I looked up "DVI switch" and found something that I'm looking for but they're all $150+ or more. Such as this ( http://www.lindy.com/us/productfolder/09/97711/index.php ) I'm wondering if there's something cheaper or if that's even what I'm looking for.


EDIT: Somewhat relevant to the question but how close can I get my monitor to being a TV? Can I also try using the HDMI-to-DVI cable from the cable box to my monitor?

I think you can use an HDMI switch for this purpose. I've seen them for cheaper than DVI switches though they don't have PS2 or USB port switching (though it doesn't look like this matters to you).

I've never tried this, so I can't give you any specifics. Theoretically it should work since DVI and HDMI have compatible signals, but I don't know the potential problems/quirks of this setup.
