Is it possible to extend the length of a digital video connection?

I'd like to place my keyboard and LCD display a bit further from
the CPU than the current cables allow.

Thanks!

Sure,

I don't know the maximum length. I have my Dimension 2400, which is analog
VGA, driving a video projector with a 25 foot extention and it works great.

Thanks, Tom!

Now that I know that it *can* be done, does anyone know the maximum length?

Again, thanks!

Seems like the recommended max is 5 meters. There are
some 10 meter cables out there, but with disclaimers as to quality.

You could always use fiber if you need really long distances.
