Lol what I meant was if you are being 100% honest with yourself. Not the IRS. Currently I haven't felt comfortable taking the home office deduction since I also use the PC and area for other things, which the IRS says is not "exclusive" then. That's just my own conscience mainly. However, of course I deduct the cost of any computer related items since they are being used in my development PC, as well as any new android devices, etc.
