I found this:

But still too expensive for me. I'm looking for at least a 3 port with the price below $300.00.

I used the dual unit on this page for a customer recently. Worked great. There's also a 4 pc kvm on the same page.

when using a dual dvi kvm does the image span both displays? what i mean is without using a kvm switch and just plugging both monitors into a pc and using the extend windows onto this desktop monitor option, is that supported when using a dual dvi kvm switch?

Yup, nothing changed when we added the kvm. Just had to make sure the cables were connected to the same vid card ports or reconfigure the desk top.
