I am considering moving some things around and one of my options is to have my HDTV on one end of my fammily room with all the gear at the other end.

What's considered 'too long' when it comes to DVI and Componet cable runs? Also, is it better go the DIY route on the compononet cables, or go ahead drop a small ransom on for the over the counter ones?

Thanks for any feedback,

PhatLac.
