One set of speakers for multiple PCs

Hey, All!
Does anyone have any ideas about the best way to share one set of speakers between multiple PCs? I'm running the machines off a KVM and would rather not clutter my desk with extra speakers. Any help would be great.
Thanks!

Check your local Radio Shack for an audio cable Y-splitter with one female and two male plugs.

Thanks, Doc.
I know that when I'm on the machine that doesn't have sound, the other machine will emit sound when I have an alert. Will that cause any grief if both machines soound off at the same time?

It could because all you're doing is feeding to outputs to one input.

If you only want one system audible at one time, you can get a a/b switch box from Radio Shuck as well.

I think maybe I'll do that. I appreciate the advice.
Thanks again!
