I'm suddenly obsessed with creating the perfect home gaming setup, but without the goofy chairs made for kids.
The Beadboard Media Gaming Console fits that grown-up bill, despite being featured on Pottery Barn's younger site, PB Teen. No matter — the price tag ($1,000) is grown up.

I wanted those weird videogame chairs when I was a kid, and now that I'm of age to afford and pick out my furniture — well, no I haven't bought them. I still need to at least appear to be a grownup — but that doesn't mean I can't outfit my living room with sophisticated furniture that also happens to be great for gaming.

Surely you can't frown on Ikea in a time such as this, when a recession is at hand? (Not that I ever frown on Ikea, for shame!)
The $150 Gustav Laptop Table isn't merely a petite table that could accommodate your laptop — though it does that with an extendable panel, so you can type or rest it on the leaf or the main surface.
What's great about the Gustav is that the drawer is the perfect size for laptop storage, and inside you'll also find a cable outlet so you can organize or hide the laptop's cords and cables.

You know how I feel about using your laptop in goofball ways when you're at home, but with today's sense of urgency, you want to use your computer any way and anywhere you can. I'll never stop advocating beautiful desks, but sometimes you want something different. Check out an Apartment Therapy reader's place, where she brilliantly subbed in a wall-mounted bookshelf to hold her desktop.

I have a hard time keeping my desk clean already, but this desk would have a problem staying clear of my drool. It's that pretty. Sure, it's spare and simple, but it's not lacking in the right kind of details.

I've been saving up for a new media center to hold all of my games, DVDs, and components for a while now, and I need your help in deciding which one I should get! I'm turning to you, my loyal geeks, to help me solve a home tech dilemma: I need a new TV stand! I've outgrown my sturdy but basic Ikea media console and need something a little more grown-up.

I'm always hearing about ingenious and inventive ways people manage to use their hot laptops on their laps — whether it be angled on the couch arm, a pillow, or a TV tray, there's always some sort of protective barrier involved. I myself use a variety of things, including a basic breakfast-in-bed tray (when I'm in bed) and my Dave laptop stand when I'm cross-legged on the couch. If you're still looking for a new stand for either your desk, bed, couch, or coffee table, here are some chic designs that may do the trick!

I am totally falling in love with Suck UK's geeky-chic goods. Not only can they supply me with an old-school Mixed Tape USB Set that I can slip in my BF's bag to show him some love, but they can make me the queen of my castle with this totally hot Union Jack illuminated coffee table. I am seriously jonesing this thing.

I've had my eyes on Pottery Barn's Smart Tech line since it launched last year so I was thrilled to learn some of the collection's most practical pieces are finally on sale. The line includes gadget-friendly shelves, desks, chairs and even beds that incorporate easy plugs so your high-tech accessories can power up discreetly. Most of the furnishings have special MP3 player plugins with a recessed area for the device and play music with a pair of built-in speakers.
