Up until now, I was planning on putting the HUB in my router closet (actually the upper shelf of my hall coat closet!), because 1) it's out of the way, 2) it's an easy Ethernet connection to the home network, 3) there's a power outlet handy, and 4) it's in a central location for good radio/wifi coverage. But after getting the HUB, I see that it has a microphone input or a USB connection, so it could be used to hook up voice control, at least on the main floor of the house. And I had a spare 1 TB 2.5" hard drive that I plugged in there, so I suppose I could use it as a media server too...although I have much more media storage in my HTPC and on my NAS.

So...what do you all suggest as to a good place to put this magic 8 ball? Our house is three levels...finished basement, main floor, and second floor.

Yup, you can stuff it in a closet if you want, or you can use it as a media server/HTPC smile

Here's one way to do it (from our Kickstarter campaign):
