Oh, and on a side note in a couple years you will look around your house and wonder how the heck you've collected so much stuff.....with a female in the house it's inevitable 

The funny thing is, I'm already there! I had to buy a second book case just to put all of my crap on it. I just hope I don't accumulate anymore, my office is already full...

I tried taking the mat out of the bathroom, and that worked like a charm, to I'm off to buy another cheap rug today to throw down there. Thanks for all the suggestions folks! I knew I couldn't be the only one with this problem!

Hahaha... yep....it is really quite amazing..... move into a house in one two tonne truck and move out with a semi.....

Get a chair with no wheels and push the one with wheels into another room, then when you have finished push the chair with the wheels back into the room.

Then take the chair with no wheels and carry it to another room

Be VERY careful with carpet remnant rugs on any kind of wood or synthetic wood flooring.  Some carpet remnant rugs have very abrasive backings.  If you're putting this thing on wood floors, you want a carpet/rug that is soft on the bottom or it'll scratch hell out of the wood.

  Indeed!


  I used bizman's solution only I put felt under the plywood so it wouldnt damage the floor.  You can pick up felts at any hardware store and you can likely get away with a 2ft by 2ft piece of plywood.

   If you search through help and training you can also find a couple of ideas for mounting your JS to the chair.

This is true.  I put an underlayment under mine......it's the same stuff you use under oriental rugs to keep them from slipping. Really cheap and a available at Lowes of Home Depot

Zach's genius is truly awesome to behold!  He's no mere mortal....he is a true demigod!

Felt, that's a good idea to mention! Actually, I'd use furniture felt pads.

Some time ago I used a light living room chair for gaming. It was on a plywood platform large enough to have the pedals attached to it, the platform also had strips of wood on the sides and back to prevent the chair from sliding off of it. Plus it had wheels underneath to enable me to get closer to the desk. The major idea was to have a set distance between the chair and pedals without any rotating problems. Looked awful but worked like a charm. The biggest problem was that although it was perfect for AH, the ergonomics for overall computing wasn't good at all.

  That's exactly what I used,I bought one of the assorted packs and it came with 4 large square pads so I applied them to the corners and put a few of the round ones near the center and the wood never scratched the floor!

  I actually cut 3 holes in mine and put 3 of the 5 wheels in the holes,this stopped the chair from moving away from the pedals.I had tried bungie cords but found if I had to get up from my chair it was such a hassel that I found away to mount my controls to the arms of my computer chair. When I removed the arm pads I found they had convieniently put holes in the arms I could use to attach mounts to the chair.

  Mntman actually made something similar but his doesnt require the armpads to be removed,IIRC there are pictures of Mntmans mount in the help and training forum. Try searching Mntman and x52
