How far? I have used VGA and PS/2 at 30-40 feet, .. never tried USB.

If you are just working on the system downstairs, ssh is simple; you can
also use another system with VNC, rdesktop, or X [run applications
remotely].

OR, put a Rasberry PI upstairs for your "terminal"!

To run just the HW upstairs you would need a KVM over TCP/IP unit, and
they are pretty pricey:
