Awesome PC gaming Chair

[airborne11b]

Well like many people who are heavy PC gamers, I find myself always looking for a perfect chair / desk combination so that long hours gaming are as enjoyable as possible.

I've always stayed in the $150 to $250 office "executive" style office chairs, but they've always seemed lacking imo. Especially when compared to a nice plush recliner.

I'm trying to either find a pre-made chair, or mod a chair, to have the feel of a lazy-boy recliner but still work well with a PC desk.

I have an awesome desk, L shaped glass desk that I really like, Lots of room for PC, Monitor (or multi monitor setups), keyboard, mouse and side-part for food and drinks and such.

Here is a picture of my current set up.

I'm looking for a recliner type chair, gaming chair, or some sort of mod that would allow me to use a softer, more relaxing chair in front of my PC desk.

If anyone has a good recommendation or links that would help me in my search, i'd really appreciate it. My current idea is to get a recliner type chair and attach caster-wheels on to the bottom of it.

Any ideas or links to products that you like would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

My gaming throne. Comfy as hell though looks like crap

It looks comfy because it naturally leans back, taking a lot of pressure off. I found that my office chair set ups became 10x more comfortable as soon as I learned to put a foot rest under it and lean back.

But I'm looking for a nice recliner mod or super special PC gaming chair.

Wondering if anyone has any ideas or owns something super nice? 😛

(Not picking on your ikea chair man, just looking for something... More)

I am sure everyone has seen this already.

But if I had the money, this is what I would get.

Awesome

I replaced the seats in my Jaguar XJ6 like 10 years ago and when I did I built a wood base for the old one and used that as a gaming chair, it was pretty sweet but was old to begin with and the leather eventually dried up and cracked and I threw it out. Been thinking of going to an import junkyard and trying to find a really nice leather bucket seat from to do the same thing with, only this time wiring a 12v power supply in so they would still be fully adjustable.

@SardonicJester I would consider that if I had a bit more money. But It doesn't look extremely comfortable, just really cool.

Benski - Any pictures you can show me with what you're talking about? A sort of modded car seat? Sounds interesting. But I need to see it in a pic to see if it fits what I'm looking for.
