While looking for a switchbox with a lot of inputs. It got me thinking...we, the players at DP, have got to be the people in the world who most require multiple inputs on a switchbox. So Im wondering who here has taken the time and invested the $$ into buying a big switchbox. The one I currently use has only 5 inputs...not really anything to brag about.

I use two of the 5-switch ones, and one connects to the other. $40 total for 9 switches.

i have that too....most of my stuff is Component or S-Video hooked up to it
all the optical's are used to

i have all 8 spots full, some RF stuff on my cable line
a propritary xbox rca hook up
and a bunch of composites split on the side in puts

its a great product (well worth $100, although i got mine for free)

That's a great idea! Where can you get those for 40 bucks total? Do they sell those at Gamestop/EB Games?

Yes. I use three, well, I did until I decided to cut back on what I have hooked up. They are Pelican rebranded as GameStop. They work great. They're nice and heavy so they don't feel like they'll be pushed back to easily, and they look like the PS2.. which can be a good thing or a bad thing.

I have the 8 port Pelican and then have 4 port ones going in to all the ports. Then I have them grouped into logical groups.

1A - PS2
1B - Xbox
1C - Gamecube

2A - Dreamcast
2B - PSX
2C - Sega Saturn

...etc. I think my old RF converter is in #7 so in it I've got my Atari 2600, Intellivision, etc. The #8 ports are on the front of the unit so I always leave those empty, for plugging in things like Jakks Joysticks and the like.
