I would need about 50-60 ft of cable, and the only kind I know that will work only comes in 6 or 9 ft sections.

First off....dont get crazy connecting multiple cables together. And dont go out buying equipment that you dont need(ie wireless network devices). You can do it your self by buying a 60 foot piece of 2 conductor shielded cable. You will also need 2 Male RCA connectors to solder onto the receiver end and 1 1/8 inch stereo connector for the computer side. Do NOT buy monster cable. It is not bad stuff but it is extremely overpriced. Do to Radio Shack and see if they have the regular cable and connectors. You could always look to ebay for specialty cables or give a call to local home theater install places. If you need more help on this, let me know.

Look for the old school speaker wires after you have converted your mini signal to component audio... they sell these cables at lengths upwards of 30 feet... or you can get a wireless solution of some type... or buy a X-box 360, they can play music through a network on any setup they are connected to.

Honestly, get a device like a Squeezebox from Slimdevices that'll allow you to play your PC audio on any stereo in the house via ethernet or wireless. Visit www.slimdevices.com for more information. I have two of them and can't wait to get a couple more. There is no better way in all honesty. Roku and Sonos don't compare though Sonos is pretty (looks don't buy performance).

they're are several ways to do this project. monster cable make 12' and 24' lenghths of a/v cable. radio shack also make these two lengths. to connect the different length cable you will need a "male to male" adapter. also available at any stereo/reciever/television outlet.

you'll need a minijack to RCA cable obviously, but, they don't make these very long...your option is to try and find some AV extension cables with female on one end and male on the other at like, radioshack. I don't even know if they make such a cable...but, if you need to, you can always "extend" your cable yourself.

best way is to buy 3 audio cables, the length you need... then buy 6 RCA jacks. solder them onto it.
thats what I did on the studio i used to work in.
