My computer is in another room...

His Dad's advice is truly S tier stuff. Guy knew his tech! /s

5:01 - 😂Gotta keep the vib charged. I'm freaking dead. You da geek br

So much gold sprinkled through this episode. Keep up the great work. I haven't laughed so hard in awhile.

The on/off switch is a really neat idea. No "but" afterwards. I am shit with Home Assistant, and I just have it send a wake on LAN packet to my PC. Of course this doesn't do anything to turn it off, and I'm sure there are various pros/cons to either setup... but just wanted to say "thanks for the idea" and also mention what I'm doing. I might seriously consider something like this because I "only" have a 3080ti but this room really does heat up. Food for thought. Thanks for the vid.

I want to use this solution to run some of my PC games on the TV in the next room. Already figured that long cables would be the easiest way but good thing you brought up the powered (!) USB cables. Also I really dig your sense of humor! Stealthy raunchiness, RGB joke as well as a Critical Role reference... nice!

I just made a small hole to my wardrobe in the wall for 5 cables (ethernet, HDMI, 3 USB), connected UPS, headphone AMP, also my monitor has seven USB3.0 output. Now I have full silence and calmness, also I use sleep mode to wake up by clicking mouse. Zero regrets

Sick! It’s always nice to see different options for clean set ups. Not as clean as having your pc built into a desk, but you can only ask for so much haha

I was actually looking into a set up to run my PC in my office from my Living Room TV for some couch gaming. I was thinking about the thunderbolt route and looking for more info. You helped me realize that is totally overkill and I can just run 1 HDMI cable and an USB one for much cheaper. So thanks, great video :D

For the power switch of the pc you could also look into those raspberry pi kvm's over local ip (TinyPilot Voyager and the PiKVM for example) you can even control the bios via hdmi in capture.

I've been running a similar setup for about half a year but with 30 m DP and USB cables with no issues. I've been using WoL to turn on my computer but I like the remote idea!

Definitely considering the remote power on route with my 2nd floor home office desktop. Thanks Brett!

My PC raises my room temp so much, anyone that enters it complains and quickly walks out, so I can't wait to give this a go! I have the same USB Hub as you, but unfortunately it's never successfully powered any USB 3.0 webcams like my Elgato, but hopefully using an extra active USB 3.0 extension cable from the PC to the webcam works. $130 project to end my years of sleepless, sweaty nights, and friends complaining about my PC fan on voice chat fingers crossed. Thanks for the simple video, and showing that this MUCH cheaper route does indeed work fine.

For me it was even easier. My server room is literally the other side of the wall from my desk. It's a thick sound isolated wall that keeps all the noise out. I put my PC cases on shelves against that wall and only need 10ft cables to my desk. The cables go through the wall behind a sheet of plywood that's 3 inched from the wall and that my desk rests on. So all cables are easily hidden as well!

I'm also running my computer in another room, I specifically put my office next to the garage so I could run cables through the wall (when I designed my house). My computer isn't fast by today's standards but it's pretty loud with 10 fans in it. One thing I'd like to sort out is how to keep my computer from getting dust in its current position. Because it doesn't have to look aesthetically pleasing I think extra dust filtering be that some sort of cover or a grow tent seems like an option

I have always wanted to learn more about multi room computing Thanks for this quick intro to a much cheaper solution than what Linus did. Direct cable runs are the way to go imho just get a duct from point A to B done.

Been running s setup like this for years, so that fan noise doesn’t get in the way of audio production/engineering (which I barely ever do any more), but it’s still great for the same reasons here: ultra short distance from PC to server, right next to my UPS, etc. You might be having that keyboard not detected issue because your UEFI might not be USB3 compatible? May be a setting for that, or if not add a USB2 cable to your snake and that should do it.

I used to use an ESP8266 Node MCU to turn my PC from anywhere via MQTT. (It's backstory after if you want to read) Then I decided to take it out, make a smart blind motor (which I then also replaced as the motor wasn't strong enough and I need to get a better motor), then it was being used as a pollution monitor until I fried it when I tried to permanently wire it. At least I now have 3 more now to do all these projects at once. Only £4.50 each.

Looks sick! I personally gone with the more expensive fans+cooling and some undervolting for the noise problem :D BeQuiet makes some great silent stuff!

Well this was entertaining, insightful and characteristically Brett. The car fob style PC starter has my eye. Even though my PC is so close to me it would probably be considered a felony in some states. Potato in chip form. I am no basic b**ch Brett. BTW, loving the whole vibe now. Videos really coming a long great. Keep it up man, your killing it.
