I used to have a KVM, but found that the virtual solutions were more flexible. That said I do sometimes have to plug in a spare keyboard to my headless server when I need to do an upgrade.

I have four machines and one CRT monitor. Two of the machines are just doing background tasks - like file serving, audio/media streaming etc. I have recently changed my personal laptop and have it's screen up at the same time as the KVM monitor and yes - I'm finding value in having two displays. I like my KVM because it is totally USB based and I can also switch the peripheral USB port which is connected to a small USB hub so I can switch several peripherals at the same time. And it works with my Macs, Linux, XP I have used VNC (various flavours) cross platform and that's OK as well - just better performance with the KVM, but you loose the p-in-p aspect compared to VNC.
