Second display or KVM

[mstrmind5]

I have built a 2nd PC and have both stationed on my desktop. I am weighing up whether to get a cheap 2nd monitor (about 23 inch 1080p) or to get a KVM instead. Thoughts?

Here's my desktop http://imgur.com/a/MFgUk
I can move the L/H PC onto an adjacent shelf, freeing space for the monitor, if needed.

*If I get a 2nd monitor do you suggest new or something from Amazon warehouse?

Thanks.

What do you plan on using the 2nd PC for?
You could just use remote desktop to it

really depends on what you are going to use it for and how frequently. Your choices are dedicated setup, KVM, or just remote into it.

I plan on running both systems at the same time. My current monitor is a 27 inch 1080p screen, and will be using it with my 6700k/gtx 1060 pc. The other pc is a g3258, mainly media center and other bits and bobs. Cobbled together with spare parts. Would be using both daily.

Until you need a monitor, I'd just stick with remote desktop. So far I haven't heard anything that would require a second monitor(plus keyboard and mouse).
