Third Monitor on First Gen G5. Long Cables?

[wonderlover]

I have a first Gen G5 (dual 2.0) and have 2 monitors setup already to it.
I'd like to run a third monitor in my vocal isolation booth (about 30feet away).

First off ... how do i get a third monitor feed?
Second off ... where can I find cables long enough to feed my LCD or Plasma for the third display?

thanks for the replies

1. I imagine you will need a 2nd video card.
2. For cables, check out monoprice

You are probably going to want repeaters for that kind of length. Or a conversion box to go to optical. But i have never tried either of those options.

Normal DVI cables are only rated for up to 5 meters (about 15 feet) so you will need a repeater to get the full 30ft (10M).

As for a third connection. The best option is a second video card. However, you are will to mirror one of your existing displays (and have the same resolution on both) you can use a cheap DVI splitter.

Shouldn't SVGA be fine for this? From what I gather he just want to see the screen in the soundbooth, maybe be able to hit record and stop. I don't think it's for intensive work at the monitor.
