Good Component Selector

[jkam]

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a good Component Selector for a decent price? I don't need anything crazy...I just need to hook up 2 or 3 systems at once.

I'm looking for one too... CML anyone?

Radio Shack has them for like $10.

I got one at Gamestop for $20. I like that it has component, composite, and s-video inputs so I can hook up older systems, too. I've had no problems - the quality seems fine. Here's what it looks like:

I believe monoprice has one for cheap.

monoprice.com is the best place for one and best price.

I've been using this one for almost two months, and there isn't any quality degradation. I'm definitely happy with it.

I had a pelican selector for a long time until I made the move to HDMI, it was great though
had multiple network hookups (so if you have multiple game systems that you play on-line you can hook 1 network cable from this to your router or cable modem, and then a cable from each system to the selector) also supported multiple digital and optical audio outputs.

I did a quick froogle search and found it here

I've never bought form this company, but you can at least see what I'm talking about and maybe get it from here or find it somewhere else.

they have a new "system selector pro 2.0" that doesn't seem to be too much different (besides a digital screen on the front)

The top pelican one is killer, I got the silver one w/ remote damn paid around $70 for it a year ago.

Only thing i havnt figured out yet is best surround sound reciver/option to use with it. Open to suggestions.

I ran it for a while with my Denon AVR-686 receiver. its 7.1 and pretty powerful, I think I paid a little over 250 for it (as a refurb). the only thing I wish it had was HDMI witching, but I'll wait a little while for receivers to come down in price with those before making an upgrade, if it ain't broke, why fix it

I don't know how much the monoprice selector is, but I picked up a manual HD component switch at Wal-mart. It is made by Philips, and I have experienced no signal degradation. It sells for around $20. They also sold an auto switching unit, and there was horrible degradation with that one....

I've been using this one for over a year, picked up from BB:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7660578&type=product&id=1134701087687

Used it for over a year and have had all manner of devices hooked into it, PS3, 360, OG Xbox, Wii, GC, PS2. Never had any issues whatsoever with it, including running it at 720p.

The remote is a nice add-on, and editing the entries on the front LCD display is another nice touch.
