I know this isn't the tech forum, but since they couldn't help me too much and a lot of people here seem to have a lot of systems, I thought it would also help if I post this question of mine here:

Does anyone know of any good switch boxes that you can use to hook up multiple AV devices to one TV/display? I currently have one that allows for up to 4 connections, but that isn't good enough for me, since I have 7 or 8 systems lying around that I hope to be able to hook up. So, can anyone help me with this?

I have seen 8x1 switches before, but thy're pretty uncommon and usually very expensive (over $100).  You could use two 4x1 A/V switches, but that's kind of a pain.

hmm, I've found some decent 8x1 switchers, but none for under 130 bucks. If it's not too hokey of a set up for you, try just doing to 4x1s through a 2x1. Cheesy set up, I know, but hey, it would get the job done.

So, grab another one, plug that into one of the slots you currently have, and that will leave you with 7 open slots?
