The Ultimate Computer Chair?

An anonymous reader writes "Check out www.mypce.com. They address the idea of the computer workspaces by treating the it as an overall environment instead of the desk and monitor we're all used to. Hopefully, the industry will start moving in this direction and address more of the physical issues of computing. No idea on pricing, but very cool nonetheless."

    Can someone explain to me WHY I'd need a sport bucket seat to use the computer? I mean does this thing come with neon and Type R stickers? Yeah, I've got a nice force feedback wheel for playing Colin McRae 3 but I don't think it's *that* good.

    Oh...and if they really want to sell then where's the fat person version? Cuz I can tell you the only way to squeeze me into something like that would inolve more Crisco than I'd care to contemplate.

    I took one look at those chairs and the first thing I thought was "These look like the design of a dentist on a bad acid trip."

    Comfortable? Maybe, I've never tried one, so I can't say.
    Eye-searingly awful looking? You better believe it.

    That thing looks like if you lean too far to the left or right, you're rollin' (At least for those fat bastards that really need a reclining chair to complement their sedentary work-style.

    Get some fat-bastard playing Grand-Tourismo 4 too into the game, he starts leaning into the turns and WHAMMO!!!

    Not to mention the collateral damage if your dog happens to be in the way.

    Oh, Yeah! My wife is going to let me bring one of those into the house!

    Well, not everybody is a whipped-up husband. Some of us are hopelessly single losers who can't get any unless it involves a financial transaction so we get plenty of space to fill as we see fit.

    Now, all we need to find is a way to smuggle this monster into the basement without mom finding out.

    ...to allow you to hang a CRT from there.

    sooo.. you want an adapter to hang a 50+ lbs CRT monitor from a LCD mount two feet above your nuts. Am I the only one thinking this might be a bad idea?
