Best solution for the lowest cost. Dual monitor, keyboard & mouse?

Question

We have a store front business. Me being the only employee besides the boss and secretary advise the boss on time and space saving ideas. I have upped business about 25% since changes I have made took place. I threw away old junk, boxes, etc. added phone lines, reorganized cables. We have an office in the back of the building with dark paneling and a computer. I added a light in there. Our secretary is gone 3 days of the 5 day week. Customers constantly coming in prevents the boss from going to the office much where alot of approval orders go through. My solution is a double everything. The keyboard, monitor and mouse. and possibly the USB. i can extend the USB with cat5 for about 55$. What is the best thing to do with the KVM without a KVM switch 350$. we want to spend under 1-150$ and add a monitor, keyboard, and mouse to the front desk to control the back office computer.

no that will not work we only have one pc and not enough funds for another one. we just need to be able to control the same computer from two places. one is the office local to the pc and the store front which is about 50-60 feet away. I was thinking about using a usb over cat5 scenario (55$) then connect a USB hub in the front and connect a usb mouse and keyboard. then find a way to extend the monitor. I would like to use a VGA d-sub Y cable in the local office then convert it to cat5 then unconvert to vga d-sub female in the front for the spare monitor if i could do that for under 50$

if a vga d-sub is not available in female i can buy two female 15 pin d-sub ports and solder them to convert.

I just found this conversion for the monitor so it looks like im only going to spend about 60$ total!!
