I have about 8 Work stations. I only use about 4 or less at the same time. I
am buying a new server and I want to relocate the server. The server is
presently in another room away from the hub which is where all the cables go
to. I want to relocate the server in a different location in another room
which is a little farture. The room I am putting this in is larger and has
more space for the server to work on in case of a problem and also much
more vertilation . It is a dell power edge 2800 server with 2gb ddr2 memory
and etc. Is it OK to put the server in a different location from where all
the cables are connected to the hub??? Can you tell me the pro and cons???
How far in feet is it ok to put the server from the Hub.?? I am using a
switch instead of a hub because it works faster and better. Thanks in
advance

of course you can put it in another room.. taking into account that 10 base
T is limited to 100m (for best results) between devices.

Yes, having to run to the server room when there is a fault :-)

Hmmm feet, let's think back that far, cabling distance (Cat5/5e/6) is
90m which works out at roughly 290 feet. You can go up to the often
quoted 100m (330 feet) for Cat5/5e for 100Mbps that's the 90m between
patch panels and extra for patch cables. It will run over slightly
longer distances.

For the new Cat 6, in the building where I work it's 90m including the
patching, although there is no Gigabit to the desktops.

'server from the Hub' then 'using a switch' ?

Do you mean the 'Hub' is a switch?, I think it's better to use hub as a
collection of ports then either repeater or switch if you want to be a
bit more specific.
