I have two PCs, one for my daily use running Linux and a more beefy/power hungry one for gaming running Windows. I like to keep the windows one off unless I want to game so I can save on power and increase UPS run time if power goes out. My idea is to extend the power and reset pins to my workstation, along with the rest of the wiring going up. It would be about 25 feet. Do I need to worry about any interfeerence causing enough voltage to activate the pins? Ex: could my PC randomly get rebooted or reset? Or is there a built in pull up/down resistor in the motherboard that would prevent this?
Basically by extending them that far I'm creating an antenna and they are floating. I know with working in MCUs and such a floating pin will basically flip flop, can the same happen with these pins? If it matters, both PCs will run through a cat 6 cable as that gives me 8 wires which is what I need.
If it will be a problem I can always use relays or transistors that I activate remotely instead, but trying to save effort if I can.
