[QUOTE="Marcusb, post: 33532, member: 11550"] The KVM extender is a good idea, but pretty expensive. It lets you send the display and mouse/keyboard (or touchscreen) via a Cat5 (network)Cable. This is probably the neatest way to do what you want. A much cheaper solution would simply be VGA and Serial extension cables and a little bit of hard work to conceal the cables. For a little less quality but smaller cables, you could use the TV output from your VGA card and send the signals via SVHS. To go truly cordless, use the TV out via a transmitter, as someone else has already suggested. You will need an LCD which supports AV inputs. You could also have cordless control by getting an MCE remote and mounting it somehow. There are a number of options, all ranging from cost, complexity and cabling depending on how serious you are... Good Luck. [/QUOTE]
