Default Need help finding a KVM SWITCH

I need help with this, my dad is doing a kool job of the media center we'll have downstairs hes thinking of having a projector linked to about 8 computers,

i need a name of a good KVM switch,

he said it would be nice to have it ???>"passive" <??? and with audio support. i think its so that we can switch to any computer in the house via the one control,

what options would be best. Please help as it will be cool when its done.

Not that I know much about KVM switches, but after like 20some feet of DVI cable you need a signal repeater, or the picture looks awful.
