Electronic – Creating a unit to input an array of different computers display/sound and output only 1 with a switch to select

computersmicrocontrollermonitor

I have a few computers and I was wondering if there was an inexpensive way to link them all to a box that I would be able to use to select which ones I want outputted to my monitor(s).

I've only really had experience with an arduino, but is there some kind of microcontroller that I would be able to use to handle this? It would be nice if I could hook up multiple monitors for it to work with (say I want to use two monitors while working on one of the computers).

There are commerically-available devices called Keyboard/Video/Mouse (KVM) switches that probably do what you want.
