    The Wall

    I would go for a fully articulated wall mount with a panduit option for the cableing. Is the computer a mini-itx chassis? A small media rack(taller than it is wide) seems like that might work out with a small PC.

      Yes, the computer is a mini itx, so it is not big.
      I am more inclined to the wall mount, as it would put the TV right in front of the bed (no need even for an articulated mount). I measured, and it would really be in the way on a table.
      This is the room:

      (the mattress is the old one and will be replaced, as will the radiator, window sill, the paint, ...)

      I know of those mounts with cable things, but am still doubtfull. This one might work, if I put the the mount a bit to the left of the bed, and even the shelf could be used to put the computer on it (I may have to put a panel on it, as the computer is quite small).

      But the minimum depth of the shelf is 30cm, so I would have to move it quite close to one side... Still it is more place efficient then the table...

      Another option is to just go straight up in the middle:

      But then I could not use the shelf (not enough room)

      But on the other hand, if you mount the TV on a mount, why bother with the cable gutter? You are not likely to move the TV elsewhere then...

          Well, the electrician will have to check out some things, but my gut feeling tells me it will end up in rewiring the place. But it gives me some time to think about it. The option with the swing arm would allow me to put the TV on the other side - making a clear passage way - when not needed... So I'll look for options...

            Think about this...

            First...I like both of those systems in your links!

            Second...have you thought about a Non Traditional bed of some sort, like a day bed with storeage, something that doesn't eat up so much floor space? Here is a link to get you started and start you looking for options should you consider it.

              I'm not sure those beds can win me much space... The decorative wall behind the bed hides a ventilation shaft and this dictates more or less the usage or the room.
              I know of many space saving options (e.g. http://www.clei.it/ has very nice things), but that is not really necessary: the room would be a dedicated bedroom. The current bed is 160cmx200cm and takes up slightly more space than it should, but at most I could win maybe 8 cm.

              I found other solutions similar to the one I linked... Most gutter solutions do provide for some shelf for a DVD player or so, but it is quite close to the TV. So it means mounting the TV off-center to allow room to pass, but with the benefit of having full cable freedom.
              The alternative is to hang the TV on the wall, put the cables in the wall and route them to where I would put the shelf. This allows for the TV to be mounted dead center, but limits cabling...

              I'm still looking for a solution like the one I linked, perhaps something will turn up.
