Probably the easiest option for you would be one of those
switch-boxes that allow you to use one monitor with multiple
computers. I use one here which I obtained whilst a student at
Aberdeen University for £10 and I'm still using it. This one is
a four-way one that switches keyboard, mouse and screen at the
same time, and I currently have three ways used, with the fourth
available for when others bring their computers round for me to
fix for them.
In general, they turn up at the various computer fairs that
appear every so often, usually around the £10 mark, but very
rarely turn up in normal computer shops.
Best wishes from Riley.
