Submission + - Ask Slashdot: How to make a gaming PC 'wife friendly' for living room use. 3
shadeshope writes: Having just gotten married I find that for some inexplicable reason my wife doesn't like my huge, noisy, 'ugly' gaming pc being the living room. I have tried hiding it in a tv cabinet, still too noisy. I have placed in in another room and run hdmi and usb cables but the propagation delay caused horrible tearing and lag when playing games. Have any other slash dotters encountered this problem? I don't want to buy a console(steam sales let me game so cheaply), or mess with water cooling. Ideally I would just hide it in the attic, is there some wireless technology that would be fast enough for gaming use? I have become quite attached to 'behemoth'. I have been upgrading him for years and he is the centre of my digital life. I run plex home theatre, media centre, steam, iTunes and air server. Will I have to do my gaming in the spare room? Once I have sorted this small problem going to try and make a case for the efficacy of a projector to replace the television..... it takes up less space, motorised screen could be hidden when not in use etc.
