Now that I\'m running 3 audio PCs I am thinking of moving the machines into a separate room, away from the MIDI keyboards. Only the monitors, PC-keyboards and trackballs should stay. The main reason is noise and heat from the machines.
Does anybody have experience with such a setup? What I\'m most worried about is the video quality when using long (analog RGB) cables between the PCs and the TFT monitors. Any comments would be very much appreciated!

Thanks to all for the feedback! :-( In the meantime I have found a very good solution, using signal amplifiers. Nothing beats a noise free working environment!

I have two PC\'s stuck in the closet. THe video signal is fine for one monitor and not so good for the other. I did swap the leads around though and pinpointed it to one faulty lead.

I thought they would get hot in there but they actually seem to run a couple of degrees cooler... images/icons/smile.gif
