I want a 3-way VGA switch

[SS]

Anyone know where I can either buy a cheap three-way VGA switch, or get instructions on how to create one myself?

All I can seem to find is DVI ones, and I don't want to faff about with VGA-DVI adapters.

I have vague ideas on how to create one, but I'm not about to start experimenting incase I kill my monitor and/or graphics cards.

i should really read the title properly first...

dont get a cheap one, we had one and it wasnt worth the effort

Mmm, I've had a few other people say that, especially for digital (rather than mechanical) ones.

I'm trying to have a multi-monitor setup, but I only have a limited number of outputs. If I *split* a VGA signal for two monitors, do I get two screens, or do I get one screen that's on two monitors?  :huh:

Um, based on the assumption that it's all just electrical signals, you'd probably get two identical screens on each monitor, and with the signal being at best half-strength, likely much worse, the picture would look awful on both. And that's all assuming you don't make things go bang, which I'd put as the most likely outcome.

I'd definitely recommend avoiding that and getting an extra graphics card - doesn't really need to be that expensive/powerful (unless you want to play games across both screens).
