Put my headphones on and Ill be impervious to anything but the house catching on fire.

Same reason like my tractor, only has one seat and I can get few hours of peace.

I quote:

"I'd let you do something like that

but not that dentist chair looking thing, at least not in turquoise."

So, does that constitute official agreement and therefore the construction can begin?

It would in my house....lol.......if only I could be let loose with power tools......I'm the type of person to nail my hand to something with a plain hammer, could really have fun with power tools......

--Steps on Spouse Approval ---
1. Tell her you will actually spend LESS time playing the game , because the experience is more fullfilling and complete.

a. All this is done in the name of efficiency and time managment.

b. This equals more time to spend with her.

2. You could also find a game she likes , or that the kids like.

a. "Honey we can also play Playstation in my cockpit."
b. Mine uses a massage chair , good for your back and hers.

3. It is actually less expensive than most other hobbies.

a. cheaper than a red sportscar/motorcycle/bass boat.
b. If you can drive it-fly it-or fu#* it , simulate it!

After seeing that dentists chair my brain wouldn't shut off and I just kept thinking about it and how I would do something like that. Down to the point where I was looking for chairs like that on ebay or anywhere else I could think of but with little success and those I did find were to expencive for the little extra cash I have. Then it hit me, the front seats in my 89 suburban would make a perfect chair for something like this. Comfortable, high back and fully adjustable. (not that I plan on ripping the seat out of my suburban)

I started trying to draw up plans on paper but it looked like something my kids could have done and then I remembered I have a 3D modleing program and this is what has poped out of my head so far.

Every thing would be mounted to a thin platform allowing for all wires to be routed from the tower by the seat, through it and out of sight. The monitor would be mounted on a sliding tray allowing for smaller monitors to be pulled closer to the seat. the stick and throttle would be mounted much like I have them now but with extra space on each side for the mouse and a cup holder.

And of course the 4 speaker towers and the sub under the seat. I havn't quite figured out how I want to mount my keyboard yet so I can move it in and out of position but I have a couple ideas.

I thought about adding more shelvs to it as this would replace my desk and I would need places to stow all the junk on it.

But for now I just worked on the bare minimum to save on how much this would cost. I probably could get more elaberate but at this time I'm just thinking of comfort and usability.
