We're lucky enough to have the perfect spot for the rain barrel right next to the garden. And there was just enough room for the compost bin in the garden, between the garage and our asparagus.
The added bonus?? I think both will save us some money in the long run. We're thinking about doing away with our trash service. Composting should cut down on the garbage we produce, which is already minimal, and what we do produce shouldn't be very stinky, since there will be very little food-products in it. So we can "save it up" and take it to the Resource Recovery Plant by the vehicle-ful for a small fee or on the twice yearly free days - even better!! The savings from the Rain Barrel are obvious, since any water we use from there we won't be paying water and sewer charges on. Thanks to the rebate offered by the Smart Watersheds program, it was a small investment to start with!!

What brand of compost system did you go with? I've been wanting to start composting for a year now, but it seems like an expensive start up.
