I did exactly that too!

I was tired of the never-ending quest for silence, so I bought 3 50-ft dvi cables and a couple usb-3 cables of the same length and put the PC in the attic.

It worked great, except any hardware issues resulted in a trip to the attic.

Did you leave the machine always on ?

Pretty much. I've never really shut down my main machines when i'm not using them.

I work from home, so i'm on it several hours every workday, combined with the fact that I tend to have multiple things in-progress all the time means it would be a giant pain in the ass to shut it down fully.
