Hey guys new member hear i am looking at moving 2 gaming machines into my server rack. ive seen linus set up which is out of question due to cost. trying to decide what options would make more sense.
1.Trying to go the thunderbolt route.
2. Hdmi and usb over Cat.
3. Buying a small home audio rack to put in office. And just running 10gb networking to new rack.
I believe in my case looking at option 3 noise shouldnt be a issue as it would be all consumer grade parts in the machine opposed to server hardware?
Gaming oriented remote desktop software like moonlight and parsec sure do work well, if cost is a concern and these machines are only used for gaming then this might worth considering.

i will look into that didnt consider it an option figured latency would be to much
Historically I’ve had the best results with Nvidia gpus on both host and client side, at the time I figured this was enabling the use of nvenc and nvdec but that was before Nvidia game stream was depreciated.
Nowadays I use moonlight/sunshine to play PC games in my living room via my switch, but that’s over 802.11AC so there is a perceivable amount of latency with that setup.
this looks like exactly what i want if it works how im thinking do you have experience with them? could advise if set up would work
This is the set up i believe i want if anyone knows more. If i made any errors to this in my thinking or if it looks good. Please let me know. Thanks for all the help so far!
Yeah I have the HDMI one for my TV in the basement
Reach out to their support they are pretty quick to respond
They do not add perceptible latency if the decoder on the client is good. 1-3 ms if i recall
Could be useful to hold you over if you don’t want to install fiber right away, or if you want some clients on occasion that aren’t connected.
i started with Sliger in the mid 90’s i allways have liked rack mount pc. you can buy used or new cases and i even built a water cooled rack, and rack mounted the radiator, had lines with quick disconnects ftom Koolance. They are fun projects.

The overall goal is a 3u sliger for wifes machine mine in a 4u and pay for the overprice hl15 to upgrade my storage solution then decide on a 1u/2u compute server
