Here's what I did years ago, and will never look back:

1. Get a usb extender and a fiber optic displayport extender.

2. Stick your computer in the garage, run the cables to whatever room and hook up your monitor and peripherals.

3. Enjoy as perfect silence and low heat generation as can be possibly be achieved. (Monitors generate heat and sometimes electrical noise, and mice and keyboards are what they are)

yup. if you are picky about mobo selection, you can also do it all over one fiber thunderbolt cable; I have my desktop rackmounted and could go up to 165ft away for the desk.
