Howdy folks
I am thinking of moving two computers down to the basement where it's cooler. Reason for this is offc to be able to mine with them and still use them as normal. It should be good both for cooling and to avoid hearing fan-noice.
I have figured out where i can pull wires etc. Only thing is that I'm not quite sure about how long the wires can be without loss of quality.
They have to be about 7 meters long, but I'm thinking of 10m wires as it seems like it's a pretty common length and I will have more freedom to move them a little if needed.
So - my list.
2x 10m hdmi cables
2x 10m usb cables to splitters (Or do i need 1 to 1 cables for keyboard/mouse? Do the splitters have to be powered?)
3x audio cables, 2 for loudspeakers and one for mic. (Need extra shielding? how will it affect the sound?)
1x cat 5 cable and some push-buttons for on/off and reset. Thinking of using 1 twisted pair for each jumper-shorting, using all 4 pairs. (will this work with 10m cable?)
About the CD-ROM I guess I'll have to go with an external USB one with its own power-supply, or use the stairs.
(Don't think there is such a thing as 10 SATA cable.
)
I'm sure that others at this forum have done similar stuff. If you are one of those, your input is greatly appreciated.
