Workstation Rehaul (Advice Needed)

Hello fellow lemmings!

Cross posted.

I am in need of some advice on how to expand my workstation.

I currently have 2 monitors and 2 laptops with 1 docking station that I switch back and forth between (I do have a second Bluetooth mouse that I connect to the laptop that is not currently connected to the docking station, if I need to).

I would like to have 4 monitors by the upcoming tax season. Also, I would like the option to expand to a total of 3 laptops within a couple years.

I have looked into KVM switches and the only one that I can find for 4 monitors and 2 computers is upwards of $800. Is there a KVM switch out there for 4 monitors and 3 computers, or is this just a pipedream?

What other solutions should I consider? When I expand to 3 computers in the upcoming years, would having 2 workstations be cheaper/more efficient?

Freedom units 💯
  • I thought that was the point Americans allegedly wouldn't understand. Glad I wasn't the only one that noticed the error in a meme trying to make another culture looks like idiots.

  • What are your stories of moderator overreach on Lemmy?
  • I know a lot of the parenting subs would ban you if you commented in r/childfree. Albeit, childfree is a toxic sub and a lot of the people there would subscribe to parenting subs just to troll them.

  • What have you been playing and what do you think of it? 07/27/2023
  • LoZ: Ocarina of Time. I really appreciate that I can run across the main part of the map in less than an in-game day. BotW and TotK are vast and I love them in their own right but I am really enjoying the OG scale of the map.

    Edit to add: and the dungeons! :)

  • Weiner-ception (OC somehow)
  • Yes, Oscar Mayer is the only successful company to pull it off and they were the first to do it! The history is really amazing. Watch "The Food That Built America" S4E11 for a cool and fun history lesson.

    Made this a couple weeks ago for my cousin's birthday. This inside was 6 layers (also colored rainbow) with cherry filling and white buttercream.

    (Crosspost - couldn't figure out how to post multiple pics. Guidance is welcome!)
