Long video run with HTPC? (1 Viewer)

[EricTownsend]

Would I have any problems with a long DVI cable run from my HTPC (containing a X800XT AIW) to my projector which I estimate will be about 25 feet away?
Thanks!

No, I use a 10M DVI cable (roughly 33 feet) and no problems here.

Good to know! Thanks for the response.

How about VGA cable? Any limits there? (Should've asked this too....)

As long as you get a quality cable it's not a problem. Cheap monitor extension cables aren't going to work, they just aren't thick enough for the job.

I have a 25' run (VGA) to my projector. Works just fine. It's a pretty thick cable though.

Yeah, I use a home-made 30ft'er to run from my xbox to my projector. Make sure you use decent quality cabling and you should be fine.
