I actually was going to say the same thing. Well, not going to lie, you pointed out even the stuff I missed.

 

This is looking very very very cool, can't wait to see it done.

ive got something lined up for mouse and keyboard and will be making that from tomorrow :) 

 

Wow. For extra points, build an ITX system in it. :D

i would if i had some spare cash lying around - might add one in the future but cant atm :(

unfortunately  they are not for sale ( ATM , we will see what the future brings)

u should also put white LEDs in the inside to light it up if darkness is not desired

i am thinking of adding some LEDs but that will be finishing touches

In addition in order to ensure that i was making the product the correct size to begin with i used an autonimous 6ft 2 male to place inside my design so that i could correctly size the shape of the chair to fit people of all size

Just noticed something. I don't know about you, but my neck hurts like hell after a long period of time spent looking down. So I would suggest making it so your neck is in a straight line to your back and adjusting the height and angle of the monitors to this fact.

 

Edit: Just checked it once more and compared it to a seat in a car. The angle between your neck and your back according to this sketch looks seriosly uncomfortable.
