Using Ethernet for the monitors was the plan from the very beginning. Before I put the sheetrock on the walls I had placed CAT6 jacks beside the power outlets for each monitor. Here's a before picture.
All of the CAT6 ends for the entire basement end in a small closet I made to hide some plumbing. I put up a little shelf and put all the components in there. Here's another pic.
At the time I wasn't sure if I was just going to plug the monitors in directly to the network for Smart TV access, or if I was going to try and carry video over Ethernet. I ended up going the video route and used these components:
Amazon: Monoprice 105704 4 x 4 True Matrix HDMI Switch/Splitter with Remote Control
Amazon: AGPtek LKV372A 60m/190ft 1080P HD HDMI Network Extender Over Single Cat6/6a/7 Ethernet Cable with IR Remote Control
As you can see in the closet picture, I have 4x of the HDMI network extenders, each labeled 1-4. CAT6 goes in one end and HDMI the other end. All the HDMI cables are 3' I also got from Amazon.
The HDMI cables all go into the 4x4 Switch Splitter. What's cool about that guy is I can have 4 sources, and control what source goes to what monitor. Right now I only have 2 sources, an Amazon Fire Stick and a Raspberry Pi. The switch lets me display the sources on any monitor I want, so I can have 2 watching the game or a movie, and the other 2 with the blind clock, or 3 watching the game and 1 with the blind clock, etc etc.
Behind each monitor there is a matching HDMI extender. They look just like the ones in the closet. So out of the CAT6 jack and into the extender with a 3' CAT6E cable, out of the extender HDMI with a 3' cable and into the monitor. The extender requires power so it uses the 2nd outlet behind the monitor.
That's all there is to it. I'll admit it was a bit finicky at first getting all the extenders to sync and act right. I believe this is because I'm cheap and was trying to get out as cheap as possible. I tried other extenders that were cheaper first and they either didn't work at all, or were awful quality. When I got these they mostly worked right out of the box, but I had to redo some of my punches at the jacks themselves which was weird because my jack tester said they were perfect but the extenders weren't happy with them at all.
I haven't tried using something like this but they appear to support IR and 1080p HDMI over a single Cat6 up to around 200 feet.
If you wanted to go up to 4K it gets a lot more expensive and you need 2x Cat6 cables.
Thanks for the reply. Do you know if something like this has ever been tested to see if an Ethernet cable can be used to extend the HDMI cable also? Unfortunately putting my computer near the Rift will be impossible.
You are on the right track. You might be able to find HDMI adapters that will use a single cable, but if you can't these ones from Monoprice would work. They use 2 cables though, since HDMI has more than 8 wires usually.
You seem to have a nicely made setup, I'm sure you will figure it out!
Edit : You have Cat6, therefore you can use these ones from Amazon. They will use a single cable by using a higher frequency (that's why they need Cat6 or higher).

This is what I plan to use, after more research I decided to go with UTP cat6 instead of cat7.
edit: the cable needs to bend alot so I went with this first and if this doesnt work then I will try a solid core cable.
First one I found on Amazon.ca

You could use a single PC and an HDMI splitter, while this isn't practical from a wiring perspective... it is possible. You can get a nice GPU and an HDMI Splitter such as the one listed at the bottom of my post. If distance is far... you can get a HDMI over Ethernet converter for further distance.
You have the option of using Digital Signage too.
