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. -- "Ninjas aren't dangerous.
