About the only sure-fire way I've found is to locate the CPU in a completely
different room and remote connect the keyboard/monitor/mouse to the studio.
Commericial units are available that will do this nicely using Cat 5 cable.
I've built lots of radio facilities using this approach. The primary
drawback is cost -- a single pair of units to allow such a hookup typically
runs around $500 US. One manufacturer that I've had good success with is
Raritan [http://www.raritan.com/]. There are others as well.

Cheers!
