    Gaming chair?

    Does anyone know of a chair specifically designed for gaming that is available in the UK? I've seen the Intensor on the web but I can only find it on US sites. Any suggestions?

    ... you might want to post in the modding forum as I'm thinking of making a gaming chair with a friend (well he'll be doing most of the work) modding a recaro (which he's done before) ... might put some neons on the bottom of it as well as some spinners

    You have to go for comfort!

    Make sure you keep RSI in mind. I used to use a leather reclinable chair that was pretty low compared to my desk and my wrists hurt terribley. I got a proper computer chair with adjustable everything and elbow supports and slowly it's getting better.

    My desk is higher than any computer desk i've had before it. It's a B&Q "IT" desk, the glass version. Nice to look at but a little high and a bugger to clean!

    Contact your local police/fire station and ask them when they will be renewing the chairs the operators use in the call room (once a year i think). I managed to get a free chair thats worth £400 new (lucky for me my mother is in the fire service). It's incredible and almost as configurable as my PC! I feel like captin kirk and it looks a bit like a race car seat.

    Bearing in mind my parents don't work in the emergency services, any idea how much they'd the one of their chairs to me for?

    Talking of pants chairs Shiato, my old chair collapsed, and locked my leg in it for 20 mins... I ended up get a hammer and breaking it apart...
