The interesting thing is, I reckon you could make something like this for cheap- especially if you don't need to adjust the monitor in that anglepoise-y kind of way. Car seats must be ten a penny in breaker's yards.

I actually made myself a chair for my computer desk by getting an old car seat from a junk yard. It was an old Austin Maxi 1800, I think. The top of the line model for it's time. It had arms on the seat and everything. Amazingly comfortable; I just made a heavy wooden frame to mount it on at a slightly reclining angle - great! I gave it to a friend when I moved house and have missed it ever since.

Hmm that's a good idea except where I'm at it would always be in the way and so would have to put some kind of wheels on it. Got me thinking!

I got it up to $19,240.00 but then I realized I'd only pay that if the rest of the X-Wing came with it...

I thought the same thing. I'm sure they will charge an extra 10 grand for that. :) MWE Lab - Efficient Computer Work Environment for the Home or Office.[^]

I'm sorry, but this is the coolest thing I've seen in a couple of weeks. Feed and clothe the kids/buy toys, feed and clothe the kids/buy toys. Ugh, decisions. :-D

Another problem I would have is that I have an electronics bench next to the computer and I work a lot on it so not sure how I would handle that. The roll around chair that I have now is a relatively inexpensive model, therefore not real comfortable but to get one that suits the purpose and is comfortable would be out of my financial range.

If you have a hard floor you can slide and rotate on it then. This will also give you some height and reduce the height of the frame needed slightly. I was looking at pictures of old Austin Maxi seats and none of them have armrests attached! I think the car at the scrapyard must have had custom seats fitted before the crash that landed it in the junkyard!

Yeah if the Maxi had arm rests sounds like it might be custom? I'm thinking maybe rails and have it swivel, but here we're getting into needing some sort of machine shop, which I don't have at my disposal.

«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question? The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism. Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???
