I think if you have a welder, or a friend with a welder you could build that frame for $40.00 USD worth of tubing or square stock.  Then go on Ebay, www.Jegs.com, www.summitracing.com and pick yourself up a nice automobile seat and done.

I highly recommend the Obutto... base system is very affordable and highly customizable. You can even go crazy with it like I did:

wow some of those look nice.    but i had $300, i couldnt build one myself for that much.i didnt buy the monitor mount as mine is bigger than mount would hold
went with swing arm from radio shack.can put it 1 foot away right over joystick.if you could build one for under $300 with suround sound, subwoofer and
 vibration.that will hold a fat guy  i would like to see it.

I got the grinder and made my chair come to pieces for ease of movement




best thing I ever bought, well my Mrs did to keep me quiet

That viper seat looks awesome but would take up to much space

 I like OP's style...wtg.
 I have 2 BMW sport seats w/all adjustments(inc racks) awaiting my finishing other projects(ac in 87 325I, respring 325IS, Datsun 240/260..blah blah blah). Thought a plywood box/2 small wheels at one end, painted black handles on other, narrow enough to go thru exter door(onto back porch when it's nice out), have dedicated comp and flat screens(2 side ones would swing out on arms), built in sound/woofer..and on seat bottom these 'thumpers' that don't make sound just 'thump'....all wired together...even some 'shippingquilts' in olive or black on inside as I've seen on military planes..ahh well... I can dream.
