Hello Everyone,
I have been chatting back and forth with several forum members lately in the Amplification section about a large church project I have undertaken.

I would like to pick some brains about this proposed console design....

(Please visit the link. The image needs to be much larger than the 600x600 allowed here on the forum.)
My main question, is not about the products that I have chosen (ie - I know some are going to chime in with their reasons as to why I should choose Brand/Company X over Company Y and Z - and while that's all well and good, please make your suggestions relevant to the premise of what I'm trying to accomplish here in my design.)
I want to be able to have a console that is as light and bare-bones as possible. I don't want the computer, amps, DSP Processors, etc. in the console, but rather in a locked storage room behind the alter.
I want the console to be easily moved and fairly "portable" so it can be used anywhere on the alter. My design allows for only 3 cables to be plugged in: 2 shielded Cat6 link cables (one for USB and the other for HDMI), and power. That should be easy enough, eh?
My main question: Using this MIDI / USB setup, does anyone have experience doing this sort of thing? Do you have any experience with latency issues in this type of setup? Any relevant input about this aspect of the design?
Again, if you have alternate product recommendations, I'm all ears, but please keep sales pitching to a minimum.
EDIT: I have lots of experience with the Gefen USB extenders when it pertains to standard USB functions - keyboard/mouse, video, etc. But what I do not know is how well they (or any other USB extender) handle MIDI data in terms of accuracy and speed (latency).
