CM Storm Trigger is built like a tank as well

Have not tried browns, but I'm sure either would get the job done. Just beware that blues are really loud.

I switched from one of those to a Humanscale Different world chair, and my back problems at my desk have pretty much subsided. It's not as cushy and comfy but it definitely supports me the right way and helps keep me more alert at my desk.

Elementary OS and Xubuntu get my vote. I personally run Xubuntu with the plank dock

You can often find nice sturdy desks second hand for almost free! I bought mine for $20 and it has served me over 3 years! It's basically the same thing as @kuddlesworth9419 posted. And by spending less on the desk, it leaves more money for peripherals!

Maybe some high end office chair reviews? Specifically if you feel that they are worth the price or not.

I personally hate the idea. Why would I want to carry around a screen AND a controller? Can you imagine how awkward it would be to have the screen on your lap and then hold the controller? If I already need to put down a screen to game, I might as well just bring my laptop or something. I liked the original shield form factor much better.

Colormaster has some nice solid budget keyboards. I personally have a CMStorm (coolermaster) Trigger which I picked up for around $80. It's so solid you could kill a man with it and plug it back in and keep typing. I'm not sure what keyswitches it all comes in. I have it in blues but I know that it also comes in browns. Not sure about the reds. I would check out their lineup regardless as they have a great price to performance ratio when it comes to keyboards.

Ubuntu just seems a lot more bloated than mint so mint gets my vote. I prefer xubuntu as my Linux os though.

I like Windows 8.1 for it's compatibility with hardware, games and software. It's also a great touch experience if you use it on a tablet or Surface pro. It's just a super versatile OS overall compared to the others which are only good at a few things.
