Mine is at an adjustable height desk so I can play standing or sitting. The cables are just long enough to allow me good freedom of movement while standing, and I've routed them over the front for a few more inches. Where the camera is positioned I've yet to go out of view (provided I don't do a full 360). Need to clean up the wires and figure out the HDMI issue, but it's coming along nicely.
Here is my setup. I really need a desk, just using a couple of old tables atm. Only difference now is I have a Saitek joystick, and my DK2 is sitting on the desk.
