Hello,
I have been researching how i might do this, and am having trouble finding the right product. any help would be fantastic.
My wife has an iMac 24" purchased in 2010 and she would like to have it in her office. she would also like to have a monitor keyboard and mouse located out by the kitchen (50' away) that connects and controls that same iMac. DVI and usb are what I need I think, (spare monitor has DVI, Dsub, RGB connections, and an integrated USB hub so single usb and DVI would let me hook up a USB mouse and keyboard I think)
I have done this with a PC before but they have been close enough to use long cables and a KVM extender/switcher.
I would rather keep the price tag under $350 (otherwise I may suggest she get another Mac of some-sort and use some form of shared storage for both). I have seen some that use cat5 cable witch would be much easier to run.
googling it gets me too many different products and unsure if they are doing what I need. any links or suggestions would be great.
Thanks
