Check out the following:

Max VGA Cable Length

According to the author, 10-20 meters is fine, he's even seen installations of 40-50 meters. So 10 meters should be within limits.
 
I have had good luck with
They have good prices, and can make most any cable that will work for most any application of most any length. The longest run I did was 100ft cable to a plasma Tv (it had SVGA inputs to switch over to monitor capabilities). Worked great.
 
Remember, quality is an important factor. Cheap parts will result in poor quality, even over short distances...
