Placing pc in another room to monitor all So

[Safeer Hafi]

Long story short i want to place my PC in another room to my Monitor because number one it’s takes up space and number 2 it’s going to be much quieter. I know that is possible but will it work. Like latency and all that. Will it be good for gaming. Will it not take to long for the signal to get across to the monitor. 
 

i dunno I need your help.

Linus does this in his home, but he uses some pretty expensive tech to do so.  I believe his first iteration he used Thunderbolt and is now using a fiber optic solution.

How far away from the monitor will the PC be once it's placed where you want it?

If you can get it the other side of the wall you can just run cables from one side to the other.

 

Maybe a steam link might be another option? 

 

Anything more starts getting expensive and you might just be better off investing in a quiet SFF solution (which would also be expensive as SFFs don’t  do quiet well).

How far away would the computer actually be?

If you need to run cables less than roughly 25 feet, you shouldn't need to do anything but get some lengthy cables or cable extenders. If you need to run cables farther than that, you're starting to look at some serious cost concerns with getting video from your machine to your monitor in a fashion suitable for fast paced action games.

The big issue here is getting video from your machine to your monitor. The other components, like keyboards and mice, are not quite as sensitive to long distances as the video is. The technology to do it, even at high resolutions, exists, but it's not common place and can be a little expensive depending on the actual cabling distance you need.

Oh boy. That's quite the distance away. I wouldn't recommend trying to do that. If it's even possible to find a solution that still gives you good enough latency for online play in a game like CoD, it's going to be quite expensive.

With a distance like that you'd be better off trying to stream games from a game server. This offloads the challenge from getting video ran a very long distance away to having a high speed network, which is much easier and cheaper.

The easiest and cheapest way to do this... Is to literally put the PC in the adjacent room, make a small hole to pass the HDMI and USB cables (might need extension cables/a hub, for your peripherals... while HDMI can safely go to something like 25" without any issues)... and you're done. The rest is aesthetic like putting a proper "finish" on the hole. (could also just be a slit instead of a round hole, cables go in but is much smaller than a hole and can easily be "filled up"  afterward)

 

Even if the PC is still technically close be, just the fact that there's now a wall in between makes everything that much quieter.... And you can put it even further out in the next room if you use extension cables if you still feel it is too loud... Or proper isolate your wall for sound.

 

Then there's the relatively "easy" but EXPENSIVE way that Linus did in his videos, using fiber optic cables and what not.

You living in a football stadium? Lol. I feel like that number can't be right unless you're in some $100 million dollar sprawling mansion.

At that point, put the PC in your attic, and run I/O drops straight down to you.

 

Also, it's not going to be any quieter in one room versus another, you just won't hear it.

That would be murder on the PC. Attic spaces are not condtioned space. Generally they are considered cold zones. Air from the outside is suppose to come in to the soffits and exit thru a vent at the top of the roof. So litterally in the summer it was be hot as fuck and in the winter colder than a witches tit. If you dont have proper circulation then you can get condensation to mould.
