    Hiya all,
    I'm trying to find extenders for various ports like monitor, usb, keyboard etc., as my mobo is going to be a couple of feet away from where I'd like all my ports to be... I'm going through all the modding links, but does anyone know where I can get them?
    Thanks,
    Cow

    If all else fails you could desolder the plugs on the mobo and add in your own extension wires. Just don't screw up if you try it :thumb:

    You didn't shield it correctly then. I've used 10' VGA extension cables, both shielded, one had a ferrite and a copper braid, one had just a copper braid. They both gave me a perfectly clear picture on 1280x1024@60Hz.
