 Barring any voidances of your warranty, you can (if you can't get a
1000 or 2000 keyboard) attach an 8-line wire to make an extension
cord of sorts.  A friend of mine has connected a 8-pin D connector to
his motherboard and uses a "joystick extension" cable to allow him to
use his keyboard outside of his computer.  He then has his computer
vertically stacked next to his desk (raised so the DF0: is accesable),
and built a case for his keyboard. -An interesting idea that frees
up alot of desk space.

Again, by doing so, as in any time you open a computer, you're tampering
with the chances to do something unintentionally bad.
