I have decided to move my computer to the basement. It will sit on a high self-made shelf about 5 feet off the ground. The back of it will be facing the same corner as my desk in the office above it. The goal is to achieve better ambient temperatures in the basement and office. With my sig rig I am creating too much heat to withstand long hours of use. By putting it in the basement I won't be creating as much heat and I won't have to run my wall mounted furnace downstairs as much. Also it will reduce my noise levels (not much to begin with unless I'm gaming) in the office. My monitor, keyboard, mouse, headphones, and speakers will stay upstairs. There will be about a 20ft distance in-between them comfortably.
What I would like to know is if there is anyone here who has experience with DVI cables 25-50ft in length. Prices online are in the $200-$300 range for 'quality' cables. I thought maybe I could get a really long HDMI cable and use that instead seeing as they are much cheaper. Also do you recommend a store or online retailer that has them?
tl;dr Long DVI cables for cheap and not sacrifice quality? Will HDMI work just as well even at 1920x1200
