I see a couple of problems with those wooden cockpits. One being the PC so far away. You'd have to climb outa that thing to put a CD in, etc. But the main problem I see (for me) is the monitor being so far away. I'm a guy who has to have the monitor close-up. I just couldn't get used to such a reclined laid back position, I'd go to sleep. The car seat route is definetly one I'd take. Car seats are made for support and comfort over a long period of time....

hmmm if i did build my cockpit i would make it so that im actually inside it and no part of my body on the outside. meanwhile i would stash my tower beside my seat or just behind my feat

In the last picture Muck posted you'll notice a small gap just infront of and below his joystick, the cockpit comes in two pieces, the monitor 'desk' and the seating part. That gap seen in the picture is where you can make a simple single cut to shorten the overall length and bring the seat closer to the 'desk' You can also adjust the set for a more upright position or more laid back.
