For $40,000.00 yes that is forty thousand dollars would you buy the ultimate gaming seat. It is called the Emperor 'Scorpion' Gaming station.
here is the actual thing about it.
Emperor 'Scorpion' gaming station
Just when you think every kind of gaming chair has been invented, the brains behind Canadian company NQ think up the Emperor gaming station. The whole rig includes a tilting chair and monitor stand (which can hold up to three monitors), adjustable lighting, adjustable air flow, a HEPA air filter, 5.1 surround sound, a built-in Web cam and microphone -- all in one huge sci-fi looking unit. The only thing that seems to be missing is the Red Bull dispenser.
Future ETA: Later in 2009, $40,000
The Crystal Ball Says: With the economy in such a disastrous state, we find it hard to believe that even the wealthiest gamer can justify spending $40K for this, admittedly, totally awesome gaming setup. Regardless, we've already placed our request to get one into GameDaily HQ for "review." -- Libe Goad

I wouldn't, the place for a mouse is very small...I don't even see a place for the keyboard, no drink holder, no ashtray, I don't even know if I would like sitting back reclined while gaming. It's a fail for me.

Maybe if I had a ridiculously huge room to put it in and a ridiculous amount of money to waste. First, I would buy this sweet MV Augusta 2 stroke.  Would you get this |

I would never buy it for that price tag. That system could be built by someone with some basic welding skills and a bit of metal for about $2,000 including the chair system, floating keyboard tray and any other accessories. As for the monitors, at $40k...why not include them???

You so would not be able to build the whole thing for 2 grand. 5.1 surrond sound built in web cam and mic, adjustable lighting and chair and airflow. Yeah I'd like to see that in 2 grand. I mean you must be crazy that it is all metal. it is probably steel reinforced structure with a fiber glass body and what looks like a lazy boy chair. |

I dont think he meant that exact chair; he just meant something with the same basic functionality. If you're talking about that exact chair, then I would have to agree $2k is far too little. |

The chair portion is ($500), you would have to fabricate a metal rack for it to go into ($200), surround sound ($100), air conditioning unit ($200), hardware for keyboard and mouse trays ($100), webcam with mic ($50), adjustable lighting ($100). Let me know if I missed anything but you could easily build this thing for $1250.

That seems like a pretty low estimate on the metal. You're also forgetting about the fiberglass and resin/just resin/polymer shell thing as well as any wiring. And $200 for an A/C isn't just an AC box sitting there. you ahve to have duct work and all. I think you could build something ghetto sorta like it, but to build this exact thing is going to take serious time and money. Even at $1250, I still wouldn't pay it. |

I think you guys have it all figured out... Vacuum toilet, Keg-erator, intravenous feeding system (with caffeine option) and baby wipe dispenser. Totally worth $40k! The only thing missing is the printing press for you to make the money to pay the electricity bill and the mortgage and (as applicable) the divorce lawyer.
