A new addition to the mancave.

I've been looking at game seats like that, but they're so damn expensive... I'll probably end up making my own

I don't think I get it. What's the purpose of a "game chair"? Why doesn't any other chair work just as well?

It has brackets for a steering wheel and pedals. Makes for a better racing feel, and has the added advantage of not needing to bolt/unbolt those items to a desk every time you want to game.

I use a wheel and pedals when I do racing games, because it provides better control than a keyboard or console controller.

Also, pedals tend to wander away from you as you use them if they are just sitting in the floor. I typically half to pause somewhere in the middle of the race so I can drag the pedals back within reach.

I was planning on making my own as well, but by the time I figured out the cost of the materials I wanted to use, the time to get it done, and how it'd look when finished it was cheaper and easier to buy one.

I wasn't too sure how nice this one would be, but I am very impressed I'd give it a 9/10 for quality, damn thing weights 70lbs. My only complaint is that the shifter mount puts the shifter too close and you end up rubbing your leg on the mount. It would have been better off 3" further to the right.

Wow, they are proud of their accessories, too...

$70 for a keyboard tray
$125 for surround sound brackets
$60 for a monitor holder is acceptable. It's a damn shame no LED monitors have VESA brackets, though...

$609.80 for my preferred setup and I'd still have to make my own monitor tray.

Traded in the SUV. Got tired of spending $65.00 in gas every 7-10 days.
