Hey guy. Just joined the forum

 

Background info, you can skip it:

I have a corridor next to my room, which i don't use, and is leading to outside. So the corridor is always cold, because it is not isolated. Since it is always cold, i have been wondering, if I could place desktop pc out there and then wire it to to my desktop (around 20 feet)

 

 

Problem:

I've seen Linus running Thunderbolt from his server rack to his, and his wife, desktop pc without any problem, and i want to do the same. I have seen the "Personal rig update" 1-final, and still haven't figured out how, he both graphics and other I/O though the cable. I can see he uses some kind of card wired to the gpu, but i don't know the name for it.

Thunderbolt Card?

Mention me if you want to summon me sooner or later

Didn't he use those super expensive optical thunderbolt cables to manage the distance? Or was that something else.

He did videos at his house for his personal PC might help also .

 

Why not just place the desktop in the other room and Run a Display port/ HDMI a USB Hub and 3.5mm Jacks?
