Good idea.  Let me take that one step further and suggest buying std
HDMI cables and separate HDMI-DVI adapters.  Then the kids will have
more options when they take the cables home.  A distinctive color
would also help the kids identify and keep their cables when they get
home.

3ft HDMI Cable (orange) = $2.50

DVI <--> HDMI Adapter = $2.26

10ft Cat5e Network Cable (orange) = $1.68

Monoprice also have keyboards starting at $7.59 each, and mice from $4.46 each

(BTW: I have no association with Monoprice, I just don't like paying
$25 for HDMI cables from Best Buy.)
