Don't scrimp on a mouse or keyboard. They are very cheap. Just have two of each.
For the printer, purchase an inexpensive Wi-Fi print server and connect it
either directly or via Wi-Fi to your router. Then you can print from any
computer in your network.

As for the USB switch, I'm trying to share both my printers, my keyboard, and
my mouse between two computers. How would I do this?

Annabelle,
For USB you don't use a switch, you use a powered hub. That expands the
number of ports.
I don't understand your need for a serial port for the monitor. A monitor
does not use a serial RS-232 port, it uses a special 15-pin connector
configuration. For that, you can purchase a special switch, but don't buy a
"serial port" switch. Buy a video monitor switch.

Hi, it's Annabelle.
Does anybody know where I can find an A&B Switch that supports both USB and
Serial Ports? The reason why I ask is because I'm eventually going to purchase
the Rockbox I7 from PC Audio Labs, and my monitor is powered by a serial port
connection. Also, I'm going to hook up my computer keyboard, my mouse, and both
my printers to the USB ports. Does anybody have any suggestions for me?
