Video Cabling Question: Computer video over 20 ft?

I would like to ceiling mount a 1024 by 768 DLP projector, which would leave the projector about 20 to 25 feet away from the computer to which it is connected. The projector has both DVI and VGA inputs.

Can I get a DVI cable that long? Would it be worth it? Will VGA degrade over that distance? I was hoping to stay completely digital on this one, but if VGA will look just as good I suppose I can live without it...

Are there any other options? I heard at one point that a company was working on sending VGA signals over Cat 5... Which would obviously fix the distance problem, but I'm sure that it's quite expensive...

Thanks for any tips!
