Title: Seat of Power: the computer workstation for the person with everything
Post by: metalliqaz on Mon, 03 June 2013, 12:02:37

Did anyone else see this on Ars Technica (http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2013/06/seat-of-power-the-computer-workstation-for-the-person-with-everything/)?  So much want.

This would go real nicely with my KMAC :)

Definitely needs a built in toilet, A/C with fan and some sort of straw attachment for energy drink and/or milkshakes :eek: :P

but seriously this might help me not get motion sickness while gaming.....or make it 100x worse ;)

this outfitted with the proper joysticks might make for an awesome UAV pilot station also.....

From the article:

It has a heated and cooled power-adjustable seat with an adjustable leg-rest and reclines up to 30 degrees. It pumps the workspace atmosphere through a HEPA air purifier, and is equipped with built-in audio and lighting

...and it includes a cupholder.  :)

no joke.

Dang it! I actually attempted to scan the article really fast, maybe I really can't read  ???

for the record I did see the cup holder part in the article....I envisioned a drink dispenser one could use hands free  ;)

still you have to get up to go, after drinking too much soda after using the cupholder and getting cold from the A/C  ::)

I think I'm going to put in a medical claim at work.  Carpel tunnel + sore back == $20k chair!

I still prefer a desk. I do a lot more different stuff in front of the desk than use the computer.

Ugh, sorry but that thing is hideous. It looks like a piece of medical equipment for quadriplegics.

I can afford the cheaper version, and plus the highest-end Mac Pro tower and three Retina Display monitors, would come out to about 11,000 dollars, plus tax, equals 12.5K. 

Jeez.

I would post the gyroscopic one-wheeled vehicle that Mr. Garrett from South Park invented, but this is a family-friendly website.
Add wheels to this desk and then hit Walmart!
