Greetings,

Let me set you the whole context to finally arrive to my question.

I currently have two important rooms for this question. My living room, where there is a large tv screen, the couch. The best place to play video games with friends and my girlfriend. On the other side I have my work room, where I have a desktop and currently two screens plus a dock and a laptop. This is where I work on personal projects, game dev, 3d design and such. I currently have ethernet pulled to this room, and can also pull it to the living room.

We finally arrive to the question itself, I'm currently building a stronger desktop computer and I'm not sure where to put it.

1) I could put it on the living room close to the tv, having an easy gaming platform directly connected to the tv. I could then use the laptop as a bridge using a remote desktop or something like that to use the three screens (the one of the laptop the two additional ones), however it might induce some overhead and performances loss

2) Traditional setup, desktop on the office, directly linked to the screen, however I loose the possibility of using the laptop as a third screen (or maybe there is a way). And I would also need a way to cast (efficiently) the desktop computer to the tv, making it relatively easy to use, close to booting a video game console.

Do you think there is an existing solution, making one of these solution very easy or will I always have to make some concessions ?

Thank you for your attention !
