I mean, 1000W power supplies are really not a big deal at all, but yeah, that's a lot of heat going into my room that I'd rather not have.
>10 Gbps USB/Thunderbolt are also a pain longer than a desk's length away but not the end of the world. Things like the power button are the easiest, just pop them into some single pin jumper extenders and you're good to go for any reasonable distance.
Any pair of wires will do...
