Dedicated room for PC? (lemmy.one)

25 comments fedilink hide all child comments

Those of you who use your pc solely for gaming, do you keep it in a dedicated room or do you keep it in the family room? Want some opinions. Are there benefits other than the quiet and keeping you rig safe? Do you get more done with the gaming time you have? Why do you or don't you have a dedicated PC room?

It's in the entertainment room. As with all modern, suburbanite, gen-xers I have converted a 15'x20' portion of the basement to a room for entertainment. The gaming rig is in a "quiet" case that looks like stereo equipment, but I've got a WheelStandPro that slides out to the love seat area when it's not parked under the desk. It's got some game storage cabinetry, desk area, dart board in an awkward, improperly laid out area, arcade machine, projector with 10' automatic screen, smaller 55" flat screen, 7.1 sound, built in bookshelves/DVD storage (which is never used as we have a Plex server), a couple of love seats, and an adjacent alcove with a 6 flavor soda fountain, superauto espresso machine (my normal espresso maker died and I couldn't be bothered), liquor cabinet, beer/drink fridge, and mini-kitchen (dw, microwave, ice maker, sink).

In a good week I get a solid 30-40 minutes of gaming in. Usually on my steam deck. Sitting on the living room couch.
