Default Keyboard, Mouse and Video over Cat5e

My pc is in the conservatory at the moment and I want the base unit to be in the garage with a keyboard, mouse and monitor in the conservatory, now summer is here the base unit is getting a bit hot.

I have a gigabit switch in the conservatory with Cat6 cabling to my gigabit router in the garage so that shouldn't be a problem.

Has anyone had any experience with these devices that send KVM over the network?

Used them a few times many years ago, very good stuff for sending over long distance

Cant remember the makes and models, but they were multi switching and for loads of servers so not cheap

I've used BlackBox in the past. Good kit. Not really home grade though.
