I'm having to redesign my home (a bit of remodeling) so this seems like the ideal opportunity to make the most of my office space. Possibly even add a few nice bits of kit as a wee treat to myself (Wireless modem / router; 21" Flat screen monitor, etc).
The plan is to hide away most of the computer kit in a walk-in wardrobe; using wireless technology for the modem, keyboard, mouse, etc.
The only major item left out will be monitor (which will be a wall mounted new flat screen 21" model). the problem is the PC itself will be some distance away, will this cause a lag or picture distortion?
Distance equal to 30ft of cable running in wall cavity and loft space. Can this be done?
My other option was to scrap the new monitor and buy a good laptop; networking with the PC
What should i do ??

If you plan a 30ft gap between the PC and other devices, you will most likely only meet with frustration. The 30ft of cable between the monitor and the PC would be no problem, but the keyboard and mouse would be. Most consumer-level wireless keyboard and mouse devices only have a maximum range of 7-10 feet (with clear line of sight). You might be able to find some specialty products that will overcome this. I am not aware of them.
The easiest solution, as you yourself have already suggested, is to set up a wireless network with a laptop. This may be more convenient anyway, since you would be able to carry your mouse, keyboard, and screen virtually anywhere in your house. If you mounted a monitor, you would be limited to the location of the monitor.
I think you would find the convenience of a wireless laptop to be quite amenable. =)
Hope this helps!

just get a KVM extender. KVM stands for Keyboard Video and Mouse. You can get ones that send the KVM information over cat5 ethernet cable, and you might be able to get it working over wireless.
I got two of these thingies on ebay for a few quid.
Wireless functionality is extremely sensitive to signal strength. Get a wireless widget that can work with repeaters (e.g. Buffalo) and/or get a really butch one. If it says range 200 feet, assume about a quarter of that. Walls soak up signal badly. Repeaters can fill holes

I like all of these suggestions, especially the wireless laptop. That's what I run at home and it is very convenient.
One concern not mentioned is proper temperature and humidity control if you decide to install hardware in the wardrobe. The conditions in a confined space may not be optimal for your PC.
