Monitor extension cable
Anyone know where I can get one? I've seen them on Dabs for about £15 and they're about 5m long - I don't need anything like that, I just want to double the length of the standard cable I'm using now which is about 2m long.

Seen them in Tesco, can't vouch for the quality though

Re: Monitor extension cable
1.8 metre Belkin monitor extension cable from ebuyer for £1.23 inc VAT http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...col=sell_price
Alternatively you could get an ebuyer 2 port KVM Switch with Cables for £14 inc vat and besides using it to extend the monitor lead you can connect a second base unit to your monitor, keyboard and mouse.

Re: Monitor extension cable
Just be careful, some cheap extension cables ghost the image when you go above certain resolutions (some as low as 800x600).
Some KVM switches also cause a drop in image crispness but nowehere near as bad as that mentioned above about cheap cables.

Re: Monitor extension cable
Just bought this KVM switch
http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...duct_uid=49457
It's very good, just press the scroll lock key twice to switch - see there is a use for that key.
