HI Guys

 

 

I am sick of buying office chairs from officeworks none of them seam to be sturdy enough for gaming they move around too much. 

I mostly play flight simulator and racing titles. I really want something that won't move around too much. Also I live in Australia so not everything is available down here.

 I am 188 cm tall 82 kg.

 

Thanks in advance your suggestions have truely helped in the past.

It sounds more like you're the problem than the chair ;)
Stop moving so much!

The office chairs I've bought have all been excellent. Are you buying expensive multi way adjustable chairs?

I grabbed the Blue Racer Chair and the only issue I've had is that the padding is wearing out after a year.

Case = Bitfenix Prodigy, Motherboard = P8Z77 - I Deluxe, CPU = 3570k @ 4.2GHz, RAM = 2x 8GB G-Skill Ripjaws, GPU = Sapphire 7950 Boost Edition, Storage = 256GB Samsung 840 Pro.

Buy a car seat off ebay, early 90's luxury car seat maybe, with adjustable back possibly and make a metal frame to be the legs, or get someone to make the frame to whatever you want it to be, swivel, etc. It would last longer than any office chair because office chairs frames are wood & a car one is metal.
