KVM switches are used to connect multiple computers using a single keyboard/video/mouse combination. The problem with traditional KVM switches is the lack of support for the latest video setups such as dual-link DVI. That's where the Belkin F1DD104L comes in with support for four different systems. Our roundup managed to turn up a trio of motherboards for those looking to build smaller form factor systems. The MSI IM-945GSE-A is a passively cooled mini-ITX board based on Intel's Atom processor. Albatron's KI780G is another mini-ITX board, but is based on AMD's 780G chipset and an AM2+ socket. Also in the lineup is the micro-ATX Gigabyte EG45M-DS2H board. In the videocard department it's Nvidia's turn to shine with 9800 GTX+ and GTX 280 cards on review. We also get an opportunity to check out a pair of Nvidia's professional grade Quadro FX cards.
