Or for roughly $600, you can get one of these babies:

2-Channel VGA Booster AC074A 576.95
• The 2-Channel VGA Booster includes (1) 6-ft. VGA input cable
(Male/Female).
Use the 2-Channel VGA Booster and put two color monitors where you want
them. Then you can keep your CPUs in a safe, clean, central location for
easy access—and away from prying fingers and dusty, industrial environments.
You can send VGA signals up to 700 feet (213.3 m) to each monitor. At 800 x
600 resolution, the booster extends XGA® and Super VGA signals 600 feet
(182.8 m). At 1024 x 768 resolution, your distance limit is 500 feet (152.4
m). Because the outputs operate independently, you can use different cable
lengths for each monitor. Just turn the two front-panel knobs to choose the
cable length you need for each monitor.
The booster’s advanced circuitry also ensures that your VGA signal will be
free of distortion, giving you clear, crisp images on your monitors. Plus,
the circuitry reduces the number of connector wires required, so you save
more money by using less cable.
To view up to 20 monitors at once, use the 2-Channel VGA Booster with our
VGA Video Splitters. This combination is ideal for large stores and other
retail environments.
