Does anyone know of a good way to get my mac pro 30' away in another room?

The firewire and USB I can figure out, but has anyone found a good dual monitor dvi cable? Or wireless?

Thanks,
Shaun

just run two DVI cables. 20meters will do no harm.

If you can't find DVI cables that long, you can use HDMI cables w/ adapters on each end. Another option these days, is to use a Balun on each end and use Cat5 cable between.

I solved it by picking up 2 ioLogic DVI over cat5 adaptors. Worked like a charm out of the box. Total cost for both sets was about $100.

There were also some VGA 'terminator' plugs I planned to check out, but ran out of time. Apparently they let you use dual monitors while using screen sharing.
