Where in your home is your desktop and why?

[Laylah]

Interesting responses, anyone have any downsides to having a computer in the lounge?

If you play FPS games or anything that makes you rage hearing someone shout "CAMPING BA****D" while watching corrie is a bit weird lol

Desktop at the end of my bed, netbook on my bed

In the upstairs living room. It works well because if I'm raging too much over yet another Starcraft II defeat, I can look to the right of monitor and over to the water. Then I'm calm

Computer is in my living room, but I live alone so no issues with encroaching on other peoples space.

Htpc in living room, Gaming rig in the office and laptop floats.
I always prefer the desktop in its own room / nest

In my room, for private pr0n surfing! It didn't work so well when the PC was downstairs in the living room with my mom

Kids pushing you're case over, sticking toys and food into it. Using you're mices as hammers, wiping dirty fingers all over you're screen. Swinging on cables, any cables. Computer off, computer on, off, on....

Now in Bedroom.

 

[GravyMonster]

In my computer room / study.

^ What he said.

My bedroom.

Means I can watch stuff in bed. If I need anything on in the lounge I stream it to the 360.

In my second living room. I like it because there's a fireplace. I have about 100 sq/m of unused space in the basement of which I am going to use some to turn in to a proper office. Going to put a bathroom and maybe a little kitchen/bar down there.

In my room. Along with a TV I use for watching DVDs and PS3 at the end of my bed. I do most of my 'TV watching - Sky etc. - downstairs in the lounge. I purposely don't have Sky multiroom or Freeview in my room because I'd never see my family!

The privacy is tops. Not to be reclusive or anything, but trying to game in communal rooms is a nightmare.

 

[xGBHxPegasus]

Down in the dining room at the moment due there being no-where else to put it.

Will eventually be in my room when its redone

*Although my TV and laptop are up in my room

hmm I see there are privacy issues and as mentioned games would probably be an earphone affair... although on the plus side the computer usage becomes more social, which I like the idea of.

I don't like the idea of being tucked away upstairs and I like the idea of having the computer running through the surround sound and TV etc.... but on the flip side I don't like the computer being cramped into the living room cupboard as it would suck for playing games etc and im thinking it would be a bit strange.

Reason why Im taking this decision so seriously is that I want to get all the cat5 etc run under the floorboards before I decorate.
