Below is the email I plan on sending to upper managment to diffuse the situation. Feel free to make any suggestions before I send it.

"Dear Jeff (BOSS)

This is in reference to moving/migrating from downstairs setup to upstairs. At the moment there are currently 2 computers setup in my cube, one on the left and one on the right. When I realized that James moved over to my spot during shift changes I mentioned & communicated with him verbally that he is more than welcome to setup his pc along the left hand side with mine, as I knew he had a KVM switch that he used downstairs so that we can both use them interchangeably here and was open for solution to get a working setup for both of us. There are applications from the PC on the left side me & Fakhrul use to function on duties throughout the day. When I came in to work one weekend I was surprised to see he setup his pc and had no idea that he was going to totally disconnect mine. At this point I was going to setup a basic profile on his pc for use but it came to be that he had some administrator lock on it and there was an error message that his computer is “ not available on turner domain” so it wasn’t even accessible. So at this point there was a KVM switch that was already in my bottom right hand drawer and not in his box. I willing fully went to attempt to set it up to make a better situation for both of us so that we could both have our pc’s to access. However when I tried to set it up there was no power adapter available for use and his box was underneath my desk so I went in to look for it but couldn’t find it and that I did not go into it randomly. I did mention this to him as well that I did attempt to look for it & apologized for any confusion, but I feel he has taken this way out of proportion, become irrational and has over blown this as this something he has done in the past with other situations. I feel this was just a big misunderstanding and miscommunication on mine and his part. I have a email below also as proof that I did try & communicate/rectify with him to lets formulate a setup on a setting up the switch so that we can both have working pcs and have a comfortable working environment.
