hi Andrew,
if you can't get a crossover for that length, a simple solution is to use a cat5e or cat 6 straight through, an RJ-45 coupler and a half metre crossover at the end. may sound dodgy but technically no issues and we use it all the time in the field as a last resort. Eliminates the need for a switch.
once the link lights come on, just assign static IP's for each of the PC's in the same subnet.
if you wanted to extend your wi-fi internet, use ICS on the "inside" PC.
Other option is to save all images to the Obs PC, and transfer them in the morning.
Cheers
