Just a few more thoughts on setting up a high-megapixels workstation:
My ideal would probably be something similar to what Linus has set up. He uses long cables from a nearby closet, so even when the workstation fans are blasting he doesn't hear it. For now, I use 2 and 3 meter cables plugged into a mid tower sitting on the far side of my desk on the floor.
For why I'm not doing the workstation-in-another-room approach: The 4K@120fps HDR OLED relies on HDMI 2.0 cables, which are only recently available at 3 meter lengths. Linus is using a not-commercially-available prototype optical HDMI repeater to get longer cabling.
For normal use the system is near-silent and at full blast it's below the noise floor with a headset playing something at a reasonably low volume (and not distractingly loud even if I just have the headset on with nothing playing).
There are commercially available cables that do HDMI (and DisplayPort, etc) over fiber. I've seen these from PremiumCord and also some Chinese ones on Amazon.
