When gaming for a while, all that stuff about supporting you lumbar and proper posture really becomes bloody appearance and necessary.



I have been through so many chairs, the last time I was searching for a new chair the wife and I went to our local Office Depot and basically spent the afternoon there.

I think the employees thought we were never going to leave, but all the chairs have a certain comfort when you first sit in them but what about long term, some get really uncomfortable.

Finally found exactly what I was looking for and have not the first time regretted getting it.

Pros: Fully adjustable period

Cons: The Headrest did drop a little too easy, but a Nylon Wire tie stopped that altogether.

Comments: I would make the same purchase again.

So heres my chair reccommendation.

Yes, I too spend the afternoon at OD .... and OM looking for chairs.

I find your chair design good looking for sufferers of Wide But Disease, but the arm design (with just one point of attachment using two screws) is easily broken or the mounting screws become loose when the mounts wear due to stress from the user's arms. The arm designs that are not adjustable and mount to both the seat bottom AND the seat back are the most durable designs.

I didn't catch if you were using Vista, and what your setup was. I sold my x1900AIW card and will be dropping my X1950GT over into this system. What caught my eye in your post is that I plan on getting the cheapest available 8800GTS (320mb) card I can (for around $290, last I saw it) with the money. Is this a good plan? (edited to add:) That card will be going in an SLI system, with future add-on possibilities.

My article ideas are bad? Well apparently, you don't mod. Nothing is more aggravating then building a mATX PC (which are hard to work on) and then have some stupid little lights burn out on you, and having to rip the whole case apart just to replace some lights. I fail to see how a long term LED study isn't beneficial to the enthusiast PC building group. As for my ideas being bad...that IS a matter of opinion. BRAINSTORMING and generating some bad ideas is usually seen as a good creative power. So I honestly don't care what your opinions are, but at least I have some ideas. :-)

I have a leaner ass, and padding becomes a concern. :-) To sit comfortably, I need soft foam that won't get too squished if one of my heavier-set friends sits in the chair for a few hours. It sux to plop down only to have my whole spine and head jarred from lack of padding that's usually there, but that's been smashed into oblivion. I bought a couple of cheap leather chairs from Meijer, and they do ok but there are several things I'd love to have in a chair. Fold-out of the way armrests, reclining properties (for movie watching), low cost ($500 range), good padding, no squeaks!, and gaming chairs seem to come with a high price and speakers next to my head. Who needs speakers in their chair? A small wheel base (removable) would be excellent too, it'd have to be heavy. Carpet rollability is also a real plus. Most of us probably don't use hardwood floors. Just a few more things one might take note of when choosing a good chair. HON makes many of the chairs used in schools and stuff, from cheap ones to executive chairs like those you might find in the oval office. I think my next chair choice might be mesh instead of leather, as leather leaves me with a sweaty arse sometimes. I do like this idea for an article too, but there are SOOO many chairs to choose from, and availability will differ too unless we're shopping online from well-established makers like HON. The criteria for an article would have to be pretty strict, and a good deal of research done. But at least those looking to buy a chair would have some sort of direction and an idea of what THEY might be looking for as well.

Thanks, and I aced the audition, so I'm happy :D

kinda geeky, but for band, I don't like band that much, but I enjoy my instrument, so I decided to audition for a top level band at my school

wind ensemble? thats what they call it here in GA. what do you play? i used to play the sexyphone. not to be confused with the saxophone, thats a different instrument. yeah. band, what fun times. i'm still an honorary semi-band nerd even tho i'm not in the band anymore :D

awh come on. you must not be playin' your cards right. i, in all of my computer-band-geekiness can play it off well with my upperclassmen "hard" friends... you know the types to which i refer... THEM. the key is not to see it as a weakness, don't be like, "don't laugh, but i'm in the band," be like "i'm in the band, bitch!"

bad example, but still.

OH wait you said person as in singular. okay. now i know what you're talking about. mmmrh. thats more complicated.

Reply to lordaardvark2

If thats how you feel, no problems with me. Although at your age its more an infatuation than anything serious.

Reply to dasickninja

Well it's not like I go around bragging about my 1337 ultimate newbness yet unnewbness skills and that I am in band, it's just when you get a 4.0s consistantly and such (and I don't even bother to try in school), people start talking about you since they're jelous. In fact, I actually have been on my school's wrestling team (not this year, baseball took priorities), do tons of weightlifting and almost have a defined 6 pack (would be a 6 pack after months of gazillions of situps, but tacos aren't the healthiest foods :lol: ). Ohh well, I'll just wait a bit longer and press my luck down the road once she has a better image of me

If she isn't interested in you, (you sound ok, very similar to me in HS, except no band and Hockey was the sport of choice), don't try to change to make it so.

I know, could that be any more cliche :?: When the heck did I turn into the old guy giving unwanted advice? :cry:

You know it. Just remember not to change who you are to catch the attention of any woman. They like it more when you have things other than them on your mind. /experience

Reply to dasickninja

I hate to say it, but for the most part, at least in my experience, HS girls prefer guys who treat the more aloof/like dirt. They seem to be more interested if they think you have more important concerns than them.

DISCLAIMER: I am not suggesting you treat any girl that way, just seems to be what they go for in a lot of cases.

Reply to hergieburbur

that has always puzzeled me too, no offense to you ninja, but most of the black people in my school (most, I know a few very nice ones) are bastards, and treat others like dirt, and yet all the girls go for them

Reply to I_Love_Tacos

it depends on the person.

i see idiots,a$$holes,rude,ugly,stupid, and cool people.

of all colors red, white, black, pink, blue, green.

they are customers at my work. :lol:

Reply to sirheck

yeah i hate assholes when it comes to guys + girls. ugh. that really pisses me off. i'm a skinny guy, and i don't have anger problems anymore like i used to :roll: , but THOSE are the people that i have the urge to fight. call it quasi-chivalry, but those guys piss me off. bad.

Reply to lordaardvark2

I meant as in, you don't think of getting the punaani every 5 seconds, and can actually think on a normal human level.

Reply to dasickninja

There is that too. I just meant that for all that girls mature faster than boys, in Some ways, they really don't show it.

I know better than to get into the other discussion (pr!cks come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and sexes.)

Even if you were kidding around, that was crossing a line...

Reply to hergieburbur

Dude, not rly, that's not crossing the line...we dont even know each other in real life, why should Tacos care?
I wouldnt care if that guy said it to me, because being multitalented (and cocky) is cool. I am, and im sure Tacos is, a kid that wants to learn more about how computers work etc. and not a 24 year old guy who screwed up a lot in life, and has one skill (building computers).


Dude, taco, u wrestle too? What weight class?

4.4 bitach (cockiness again, there it is ;( )

Yeah, I wouldn't care either, but as you said, you don't know the other person, or how they will react to what you say. Hell I've said almost that exact same thing to lots of people, but they were people who knew I was kidding and wouldn't take it the wrong way.

You want cockiness, try 5.28 out of 5.28 (But then, we had a messed up scale where college in HS courses were worth 6, advanced courses were worth 5, and normal courses were worth four).

AND HOW THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS GETTING +4.0s?! do you really get THAT MUCH bonus?! my mind has been boggled. damn. i thought my 4.0 was somethign to be proud of.... :cry:

Reply to Lionhardt

argh

i need to transfer to your school. you hax. or something.

what constitutes an A+?

Reply to lordaardvark2

9th Grade, that takes me back a bit (makes me feel old). Personally, other than Hockey and a few other events, I pretty much hated my HS (It was a private school that was almost all spoiled little neglected rich kids or kids that were kicked out of other schools. Very few real people in the whole place). Though the education was pretty good. I pretty much could have started college as a sophomore if I had so chose...

Reply to hergieburbur

Lol, i thought u were in college?
U live a double life? haha

uhm, an A+? 97 or higher.
whihc i WONT be getting in Industrial business tech cause i spend the whole class quake 3-ing or forumzing.

yeah, i hax at life.

honors science like 99, honors enlgish idk meng, close to call 96-97

then last semester i had a biiaatch for honors geometry and finished with a 92.4 (93 is an A) so i got an A- ;(

lol

... and majored in grammar? :lol: just kidding. i suck at grammar

yeah, i pretty much hate highschool too. for aforementioned reasons. like everyone was buying class rings the other day.... woot :roll: i tried to get my parents to give me $400 NOT to buy a ring, but it wouldn't work... :cry:

yeah okay i surrender my intelligence to you all, with your college-in-10th-grade and 9.9 GPAs... haxors. :wink:

YEAH, but in my grading scale, A-s don't take you down, still 4.0 (or above for you haxors). man, i don't think my school gives A+s, come to think of it. i had some real high As last semester, and this semester i have a 102 in a class :lol: so i guess i'll find out... but still. i'm real jealous. you guys will totally trounce me in any kind of application process. 8O

HA HA! My dad talked me out of buying a class ring, had me use the money to buy a pistol instead! What can I say, I have great parents.

By the way, I think that so chose is the correct usage there, though it could be chosen. I haven't taken an English class is 7 years...

HA HA! e-pissing contest...

I'm actually the only person I've ever heard of that threw away a perfect score in the math section (I took the test, KNEW every answer but one. If I had skipped it, BAM! 800. Instead, I guessed and missed it... 780 instead). Ended up with 1520 combined.

For what its worth, first time I took the test in SAT prep (10th grade a think) I got a 1210 I think. Of course, this was back when there were only two sections to the test. So you are definitely on the right track.

Then again, SATs were/are more about your ability to take tests than they are about actual intelligence.

DISCLAIMERI'm really not trying to brag. I know I am an arrogant, egotistical ass sometimes when it comes to my intelligence, but I try not to bring it up all that often or brag about it.
