A massive PC desk build starts with a new chair

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sooooo after raging at 5 different mid range computer chairs in my life I finally broke the bank and forked out for a

5th day in and a  6hr session (Didnt even get up)

Highly recommended!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Now can start planning my custom desk (might take a year or too).

Any ideas would great.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

chair looks good, as for the desk... I have done 5 years of wood working through school and continue to build things now (so I hope I am somewhat qualified to comment of what you are building) if this is your first desk i woulds KISS keep it simple stupid and build a basic desk that has simple draws (if you want them) and no crazy complex structure. also i would do some research into what wood you want to make it out of. 

 

That chair is pretty good, i wish i had some pics on the things i was sitting on. 

My last chair i through out the window after lining back on it and it snaps 2.2 years old. 

 

 

I am pretty good on the tools, just dont have access to good setup because i am located in Germany for the time being. so i cant start anything untill i find a good work shop.

i am currently running through ideas on google sketch. will start too post them when i have a bit more time to work on them. 

my friend sent me a a link about a guys build saying how kool it was. (watched it.... face palmed for like 3 mins)

a few good things mostly shit. plus this guy spent 22k on this build WTF!!!!!!

i have been thinking about it for a while.

Something a lot more practical and sophisticated probs wait till x99 comes down in price and 4k gpus arent 1k each.

but design is the most important thing!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i snap those like twigs.....

 

That's my current chair.

Does it squeak a lot during fapping sessions? I'm in the marking for a new desk chair too, and my current one is a squeaker.

nah this things good too go! 

the place i bought it said he would replace it if it starts making noises.

5 years

Most impressive, but I doubt it's stain proof.

yea i will be wearing unddies on when sitting in this thing

your current chair is not built for 'Hefty Gentlemen' :P

haha you guys are a bunch of Trollz xD

.. been thinking of how important a good chair is

This nerd chick explains quite well.

Don't worry, I've broken 3 of them already in the past year or so.

Is there a reason your posts are so badly formatted with blank spaces and such?

The chair in the nerd chick video is extortionately expensive. $1,600 for a chair?! How much does your build cost?

For people who sit in front of a computer all day as a job, this imo is a small expense that one might want to pay to prevent back issues later in life.

fucked key board and old laptop.

pc bits are coming!

over 20 years its like 1 cent a day

why wouldnt u.

but still need some exercise and movement 

a expensive chair will no solve everything

 

I built a desk top once made out some simple Cedar pickets from Home Depot. Three Rows of three, glued and clamped together overnight. Used a hand planner to smooth out the planks, a router to smooth out the edges. Drilled some 2x2's on the under side to sort of clamp the pickets together and add extra strength. Used Spar Urethane (Hellsman) to seal it and gave it to my dad. 

One cool simple idea would be to find an old decent shape door as a table top (I found one on Craigslist) some sawhorses as the legs and then a sheet of plexi-glass cut to size to sit atop the door so you can have a nice solid flat plane as the table top. It was nothing extravagant but fit the bill quite nicely.

i suppose it makes sense to seem extent, but i would have thought there would be options at the $300 - $500 mark that were more than adequate.

i guess i'm not a computer chair expert.
