The tower will be under the counter. I'll have a 19" flat panel
monitor extending down from it's mount under the cabinet and the
wireless mouse and keyboard under it. I was going to run wires to the
mouse and keyboard, but the wireless ones work very well now.

With 30 feet of counter space, they won't be in the way.

I can't stand laptops. The keyboards make me nuts, the scrolling pad
and tiny joystick make me nuts and the screen size is too small on the
less expensive ones. Ha! No laptops in my life. For "away" PC use, I
have my Droid. It does everything I need away from my home office.
