One other thing to consider, if you have an older laptop or other computer to dedicate to the job, you can put it close to the camera, and then remote in from the main computer.
My old computer isn't up to the job, I'm getting a new laptop to facilitate field use and will use it for the time being. The old computer will probably get used as a door-stop after that. The observatory is still some time off, but I can set-up the imaging telescope on my back patio and run the cable into the house if the weather is cold. I can use a much larger monitor that way, as well (up to 50").
