if it'* only a room apart and it is (logically) an interior wall you should have no problem just running the wire through the wall


no sense in spending all that money for a wireless solution

Yeah, the vent ducts are helpful for this kind of stuff. Most of our network wires run down through existing heat/AC ducts. Also, keep in mind that most wires should be attached to your studs, I wouldn't imagine if you drilled between two studs you would find much, just becareful and don't go recklessly at it.

that would work BUT i live in a old trailer and the ducts are in a long line and their far from the computer and stereo. even thought if they were in a long line it would be a good idea. i never though of that ideas.
