It doesn't help to share the monitors, but here's an option you may not 
have considered for sharing keyboard/mouse:

http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/

Synergy lets you share keyboard/mouse among multiple PCs, each of which 
has its own monitor.  The kbd/mouse are hooked into one PC, and the 
software handles moving the control from one system to another.  It's 
very cool, just drag the mouse from one monitor to another and suddenly 
you're talking to a different PC.  And it's free.
