    Default Best option for hooking up game systems?

    This is sort of related to the thread about having too many game systems, but I'll give it its own topic anyways. Currently I have 7 systems (AV Famicom & Disk System, Gamecube, Super NES, N64, Dreamcast, Genesis, and PS2), my DVD player, and my VCR running through the single AV out on my TV. How, you ask? Through AV selectors I got at work. It works like this:

    Selector #1 (connected to TV):
    Port 1-connected to Selector #2
    Port 2-PS2
    Port 3-DVD player
    Port 4-VCR (my Atari 2600 and cable runs through this puppy as well)

    Selector #2:
    Port 1-AV Famicom & Disk System
    Port 2-Super NES
    Port 3-N64
    Port 4-Gamecube

    So, obviously, I need room for my Genny and Dreamcast. But, my daisy chain scheme has a problem: the video on the systems connected to selector #2 has an annoying habit of blinking out on me. Like, in the middle of a game. (Why it didn't do it the last time I played Mike Tyson's Punch Out!! is beyond me.) So, does anyone have a better solution, or a better selector than the GE ones I'm currently using?

    You could grab one of those multi AV leeds, similar to this one
