We have the Tripp Lite 16 port KVM with integrated 15" LCD and keyboard (Model B020-016). When we bought it around 1.5 years ago it was just under $2000 from GovConnection. The feature which favored this unit were the ease of daisychaining to additional KVMs (we have a second Tripp Lite 16 port KVM, model B022-016, ($500) feeding from our second rack to the console KVM. The second factor in its favor was the integrated VGA/PS/2 or VGA/USB cable design which were reasonably priced. It has no serial ports but that was not an issue for us. I will reiterate what others have said about the Tripp Lite, its keyboard layout can be very, very frustrating. Kevin M.
