Ok is it just me or is everyone starting to get too many component based products?Currently I have a Sony ES 555 which handles 2 component sources 1 output. At first I thought that should do the trick. I currently have an Arcam DV88 hooked up and a Sony JAP PS2 hooked in via component (Note you wont believe how good a PS2 is until you see GT3 in component).
However I'm continually swapping my PS2 video cable to my Sony AUS PS2 model and within a few days I'll recieve a digital TV receiver which also is component. :(
So now soon to have 4 component sources I need a solution.
What I was wondering was is their any reason you couldn't simply use a standard switch box? Use the composite video and the left and the right audio to give you all three component channels? Arn't most switches just straight through? My amp will handle the audio switching.
I've got no idea when it comes to switch boxes hence why I'm posting up here.
Follow Ups:
They "claim" you can use this for component switching even though the connectors are composite...anyway, this might be what you're looking for...good luck.

Iquana Man, good suggestion except that is a "Distribution Amp"...not a Switcher. We carry that product (we deal with A/V Dealers only) and it merly amps up the signal and splits it so the same picture can be viewed on multiple screens without signal loss. The idea of Component or VGA Switching starts getting costly once you get past the 2 in 1 out usually provided for in factory receivers. Extron and In-line are a couple of examples of high-end component switchers, but they are in the $2,000 and up range. A cheap solution might be to use a KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) switch that is used for multiple computer servers with only one monitor. The specs say you need at least 300 Mhz of bandwidth to handle Hi-Def signals, but I am using a Belkin OmniView F1D066 ...a 4 x 1 switch right now for a demo room with a Hi-Def CRT projector and multiple inputs. This is just temporary right now until I get my permanent switch, but it handles the signals quite nicely. (1600 x 1200)and they run around $120. You would need to get Component to VGA 15- pin cables as these type switches only have VGA inputs.
