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?

    Moving to a smaller apartment. I’m going to have the computer in a side area, routed through extenders to my desk in the bedroom with the 28" 1440p monitor there, then to my living room with my 65" TV and home cinema setup via HDMI 2.1 (120hz VRR HDR 4K).

    I’ve already got the kit and cables, set up tested working (Denon HDMI 2.1 8k switcher and extenders, Displayport KVMs and extenders, and a loooong powered USB C hub extension along with a shorter one for my desk). I can use my VR set in the living room this way too through the USB hub and Displayport extension.

    My MiSTer is also to be set up in the living room and runs the opposite way too (so can be used at the desk too). And my Onkyo 7.2 AV receiver is in the living room and can output to the speakers in the living room or the speakers at my desk with a simple switch. All audio runs through it and I can control it with my phone with an app and PC via web access.

    Just gotta wait for the solicitors to do their shit finalizing the sale and give me a move date. Gonna be sweet.
