You could move one of the couches to a corner and move the portal in
the server room in front it.  That way it won't accidentally catch any
activities in the space which aren't on the couch.

You're going to need to find a low power computer to run it, though.
The one in the server rack is already doing double duty as a console
server and the portal server and can't be moved.
