And I enjoy the classic desk gaming the most anyways, so I'm not willing to put in the work to turn a PC into a console and just bought one.
Not sure what you're picturing but my lounge really doesn't resemble a server farm. The computer is away in my work area and the TV is in the lounge, and all connections are hidden by sleek shelving and cabinetry. Just takes a tiny bit of effort to make it all work perfectly, and you just need an HDMI capable GPU (so a fairly new graphics card), plus I use an amp then connect a bunch of speakers and a sub through it all so movies sound amazing too. Only thing that makes you realise that TV is actually now really a monitor is the wireless mouse and keyboard, and when I switch to desktop...though even then have it set up so any icons hide away when I doubleclick the desktop.
Whole thing works brilliantly, one day we'll all have the whole house hooked up through something like that.
