wireless monitor?
My brother wants to put his desktop in the basement but put his monitor and keyboard and such on his first floor. Is there a way to wirelessly connect the two? I was thinking chromecast would work, but that looks like it only mirrors sites if you connect via laptop. Any ideas?

Hadn't really thought about it but looks like there are USB-based wireless connectors you can use for a VGA monitor, at least.

Wireless HDMI for video and Bluetooth for controls could work, but there could be issues with range and latency depending on the distance and layout of his house. Wireless HDMI isn't exactly cheap either...probably at least $200 for something that may or may not provide the quality he needs.

Thanks - that's similar to what I was finding. I was hoping I was just bad at google.
