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?
Most certainly don’t. After all, it’s a luxury having a separate room specifically for your PC and other technical appliances.
However, you’ve said it yourself that it does keep things quiet. Not to mention that this way you could also connect a custom loop to your heating and make the components run cool with the heat coming off of it being put to good use. At this point you might as well make a server.
The downsides, beside the cost, are that you won’t see your creation. PC is something you put your soul into, picking all of the parts, making them all fit together the way you want them to, and if you spend time making it look pretty, it may as well serve as a decoration on your desk.
Not to mention that it’s simply easier to just put it beside your monitor, and to troubleshoot it if something happens.
Bro you just took me on a tangent I didn’t even know I wanted. A server room sounds awesome for heating in the winter.
Wait, by “dedicated PC room” did you mean like an office room?
If so, for me it’s a matter of how private I want it to be or wether or not I want to separate it from other tasks.
Personally, I’d rather separate work than gaming from my daily life. Like kitchen, I like my kitchen connected to the living room, so I can spend time with others while cooking. Whereas with work I kinda need to concentrate, so everything else would be too distracting.
Yeah I meant an office, just didn’t want to be rude.
You need to see some serious value in the server use for that to be “efficient” but I say this as someone that turned of the heat a few winters ago and mined crypto.
