Uhh...
Cheaper solution: move the sofa...
Actually, someone else said it: remote keyboards and mice have come a
long way. And you can get monitor cables as long as 50 feet or so.
I've actually helped setup a Gateway machine at a school. They had a
wireless keyboard and mouse, as well as a 31" monitor (with a 50'
cord). Way cool. I could actually go *really* far away and keep
typing, so far I had go into a different room that prevented me from
even seeing the screen... About 50 feet or so.
