Where do you propose to put the computer within this chair? When I was doing Product Design Level 3 at college last year someone else did this but for a Playstation 3 project, they had it sat under the seat (wasn't the best of ideas). I can see you have an Fractal R4 so it's a ATX case so possibly beside you next to the seat? 

 

If you ever wanted to sell it though I'd buy it off you :P

Future build log of the week here!

Where do bad folks go when they die?
They don't go to heaven where the angels fly
They go to the lake of fire and fry, Won't see them again 'till the fourth of July

I have an idea: Have a little desk thing on some kind of rotating arm, swing it away when you don't want it if you get what i mean.

I was thinking of building something similar. My dad for the longest time was a metal worker creating things from steel and aluminum. I figure I could make it out of metal and have wood accents. The only difference is I was thinking more of a rounded chair than a gaming pod. It would have an arm that stuck out that hold a 1440p monitor. Anyway I love the design and looks amazing keep up the work.

The bendy ply is holding up really well tbh - only think that was a struggle to get on was on that really tight bend on the roof ending part that curves around . I just added that on today so will be adding photos soon

Yeh I am thinking of adding in a part on the side to sliding in your PC/xbox/ps - and I may be able to make another in the future ahha

Actually I have just designed a feature like this and I have started manufacturing it and will be adding it to my product in then next couple of weeks so start tuned for new photos

This is one hell of an idea. How sturdy is that bending ply?

i always wanted something like this but never got around to it you are probably building the computer into it right?

Yeh I won't be adding 3 monitors as seen on my cad design - but yeh the monitor will also be in a moveable arm to get the monitor in whatever position you want

  

when I saw that first sketchup shot I was like, no way!, then I saw the progress shots and I was like, NO WAY!

Ahha - I originally had a different design then I was messing around on sketchup and came up with that and then started developing and due to feedback from people in LTT I went for this design.

  

that's sexy , just wooooooow

Ahha thanks as it is a school project it won't be completed until earliest of just after new year - as I only have 1 3 hour lesson a week

This is awesome! 

 

The desk that I am using now is the one from my GCSE project and I'm glad I decided to make it instead of a shelf. 

 

Here's a picture:

Ahha had quite a lot of people saying that they would buy one - once I've done this one I will take a look at building some others to sell , but would need to refine the manufacturing process first

Should make a kitchen on the side with knives and stuff so she can make sandwiches.

Nah I'm just kidding, but honestly if you SOMEHOW can put a mini fridge in there somewhere, Then I'm gonna be impressed.
