It wouldn't be overkill at all.  Belkin and a few others make a 2
machine KVM that is pretty cheap, check out http://www.pricewatch.com
and see who has one on sale.

Side Note: Just remember that if you've got a Linux box and are running
X, you need to do a ctrl-alt-f(x) then alt-f7 everytime you switch the
KVM back to linux.
