moving computer to diffrent room experiment

SabejiThePIrate · March 4, 2018

So I would like to move my build into my closet and run the cords through the attic and into my bedroom. with a ruff measurement I would say I need around 32 feet.

Now I play games that's all I really use the computer for. I know usb Hubs Don't really cause input lag but if I used a 32 foot active extinction usb and a powered hub at the end do you think it would cause issues with input lag?

I was thinking using this usb cable and this powered hub. I know I could use usb to cat 5 but money is a problem.

I plan on using this HDMI 2.0 cable as I need 4k, my other monitors I can just use a standard HDMI because those won't be using for the game just other info.

Any info on what I should use (hopefully cheap as my mother in law and her other kids took over my house...and my money..) would be amazing.

Input lag would not be a problem. Signal quality is a concern but USB 2.0 should work. You can also look into steam links and use the two ports on this device.

Awesome, I didn't think it would be a problem but wanted to be sure before I bought everything. only usb 2.0 stuff would be hooked to the hub (keyboard, mouse, headset) , HDD's and such I would just plug directly into the computer.

I did think about the steam link but wasn't sure how it could handle gaming on one monitor and having a web page and computer info on the other two monitors.
