Computer lead lengths?

After much deliberation, have decided my ob (complete) will roll off exposing the scope (12" newt on pillow block mount) on its pad. The control system will be a CNC lathe controller and stepper motors, in turn driven by EQMOD. The CNC system will be mounted on the pier and be locally controlled for centering and speed tuning with a gaming controller. However, I want to mount my main computer and screen on the wall of the ob. My question is (realising the shorter the better) what are the maximum effective lead lengths for a DB25 cable in this instance? Has anyone had experience similar to this scenario?
