PCs in the Living Room?

mwebert asks: "OK. I figure a large number of my fellow Slashdot readers have encountered this same scenario, so please respond. Right now, we keep our Dell Inspiron notebook on the corner of our coffee table in the center of our living room, accessing our home wireless network, and allowing the user to see the TV and multitask their little heart out. (Yay, IMDB!) That said, sitting on the edge of the couch (or worse, the floor) is getting old fast. Of course, I could get a true desk, but I don't want it to face the wall or corner, and I don't want it to turn the decor of my living room into a dentist's office reception area. I'm looking for a handsome (yet unobtrusive and functional) rolling workstation, preferably with a shelf/drawer or two. I've checked out http://www.anthro.com/ - but their offerings look pretty utilitarian, don't they? Any other ideas?"

Boom.

Better coffee table

[Nutria]

At an "unfinished furniture" store, we (wife & I) found a coffee table where the "upper flat part" of the table is on spring-loaded hinges.

Thus, if you are sitting at the edge of the sofa, you lift up the top of the table, and it pivots up to you.

Very handy.
