Hi!
In 6 months or so I would like to plan to get a new desktop and I was thinking in having the new PC in the next room, the idea as Linus himself has done several times is to not have the noise and heat in the same room that I'm working in.
One of the solutions would be the corning Thunderbolt 3 Fiber Optic cable Linus has used in the following video:
But there're several catches, one is the price, cable plus a thunderbolt base with several outputs would be +600€, secondly I would like to have compatibility for up to 3x4K UHD Displays, better at least 3 DP 1.4 or 3 HDMI 2.1 so I don't need to change them any time soon.
The only 2 options that I came with so far:
Buying 3 display cables either DP 1.4 or HDMI 2.1 and one or 2 USB 3.0 with a repeater, that will end being a thick boi cable to route.
Using remote desktop via lan connection, but I don't have a clue if it's possible to do so many display at once and what would be the max bandwith I can use (the house has cat 6, lenght below 50m), also probably not support for graphic tablets.
Any suggestions or different approaches?
Summary:
Distance in case of using cables would be around 20m between desktop and displays, etc.
Less than 400€ if possible.
Having native display quality or something really similar.
Being able to use a graphic tablet and a 3dconnexion space mouse (usb), aside from the standar peripherals.
3x4k UHD up to 120Hz
I appreciate any idea, explanation or suggestion, thanks in advance!
