Okay, current set-up:

I have a Mac Mini running Catalina. It's hooked up to a Wacom Cintiq and an HP monitor as well. The HP monitor is also now hooked up via the HDMI switch device to a laptop computer loaned out to me by the client of my current employer. (No, I am not explaining that any further.)

It's a simple one-button, three input sources-one output destination device, this HDMI switch. Doesn't even need a wall socket for power.

There's assorted other devices hooked up to the Mac Mini, including an Epson WF-something-something for scanning big art boards as well as printing out stuff on larger scales. And I think I'll stop explaining for now...

I just rescued a pile of late 2011 Mac Minis that were being tossed. I replaced the hard drives with SSDs, and installed High Sierra. From there I used Open Core Legacy patcher to push it to Monterey. I then went from Monterey to Sonoma. They need more memory: 4 gigs isn't really enough but they work just fine for normal tasks.

Mine got an SSD and had its RAM maxed out to 16 GB before it was gifted to me. I got extremely lucky there.

Sounds pretty good!

We had KVM switches at the police department back in the '90s. We were the system admins and had two PCs each: one was our admin machines and did not have internet access, the other was our work machines and did. Monster big boxes, it being the '90s and all.
