Buy an a/b switch that has as many positions as you need.
+1. I've seen them up to 24 positions, and it probably goes higher than that.

Where would I find these? I've seen a 10 input VGA switch but it was almost $200. Not really wanting to spend that much.
search for 'video switch box'.
There are even instructables on how to make your own -- if you are using old style rca connectors its very easy. To switch between rca and newer digital signals (dvi/hdmi) then it becomes a LOT more difficult.
You can also CASCADE those switchboxes, so if you have 3 4 input boxes, you can have one box select WHICH box you want to input from, then on the 2nd and 3rd box you connect your 8 inputs.
