Would it work for me to buy a chair from a car, like here http://rochester.craigslist.org/pts/4431533434.html and put it on a stand to use for my pc?

I imagine it would, with a little elbow grease and the right tools/materials.

Question is, can you get a nice computer chair for the same price as the chair + stand?

Personal Rig v3: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X | Noctua NH-U14S | Gigabyte B450 Aorus Pro ITX | Zotac GTX 2070 8GB | 16GB G-Skill Trident DDR4 3200MHz | EVGA Supernova 750B | Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ITX 

Peripherals: Sennheiser HD518 & Classic ModMic | Corsair K65 Luxe | Zowie EC2 | ASUS VG259QM  |  ASUS VG278E | Klipsch ProMedia 2.1

I dont think so. IDK tho. One thats liek a car seat is like 170. This one is 100. And stand of wood wont cost to much. It would be could for racing sim.

With some creativity I am sure you could do it, and it would probably be really cool in a racing sim, but You could probably get a nice normal Desk chair for that price. a really nice one if you are willing to go to a business liquidation or thrift store.

System CPU : Ryzen 9 5950 doing whatever PBO lets it. Motherboard : Asus B550 Wifi II RAM 80GB 3600 CL 18 2x 32GB 2x 8GB GPUs Vega 56 & Tesla M40 Corsair 4000D Storage: many and varied small (512GB-1TB) SSD + 5TB WD Green PSU 1000W EVGA GOLD

 

You can trust me, I'm from the Internet.

Great idea for an awesome project, you should totally do a build log it you decide to go ahead with it!

But have you seen the GT Omega racing chairs? (I've just ordered one :) )

These are a similar concept but pre built and more optimal for an office environment

My PC:


4670k      GTX 760 ACX      CoolerMaster Hyper 412s      Fractal Design Node 804      G1 Sniper M5      Corsair RM 650      WD Red 1TB     Samsung 840 Evo 120GB

I saw those. They are too expensive and not real car seats
