Multiple Component / DVI output?

Are there any cables available that will connect to multiple consoles (Xbox, PS2 and Gamecube at the very least!) and output to a single Component or DVI?

The reason I ask is becasue I have only one Component and one DVI input in my television and having to fumble around unplugging cables is not much fun! I know there is already an Xbox & PS 2 dual component cable. There is also a cable that connects to 8 different consoles and outputs to an RGB Scart - I really would like the higher quality of DVI or Component though.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks, that looks pretty useful! Is component much better than RGB Scart?

I do have a plasma. I just got it on Friday - component seems to look amazing compared to anything else.
