New York, December 2003 - Machin.Shop Manufacturing Inc. is introducing the Gamedeck™, an integrated, ergonomic videogaming station, whose patent-pending design bridges the gap between office furniture products currently available and the demands of the fastgrowing videogaming market. With the introduction of the Gamedeck, Machin.Shop is dedicated to advancing the PC gaming experience and aims to support the emerging gaming center market. The Gamedeck’s features come together to provide total immersion, with little distraction derived from lack of comfort, improper seated position or lengthy set-up procedures. The Gamedeck stations will be available in February 2004.

I can't say that I would actually buy one of those...
takes up too much space, and I bet it costs a bundle.

Very interesting concept. I can see these put into use in commercial applications, net cafe's, etc. However, the price tag may keep it out of reach of the home gamer.

Why build one when you could.... buy... one (Dr. Evil voice). But anyway, that thing doesn't look that appealing to me. I like my nice home setup with my big comfy chair.

I'm a carpenter. I have plenty of wood and I could finish it up to look really nice. I'm not saying that I would actually build it. I'm just saying I could. :)

It's certainly an interesting concept, but the prototype looks kind of ugly. Time to put those case modding skills to the test :D
Hmm, doesn't look very comfortable, and the monitor is too small. Looks like it may be best for driving games.

yea it would be best for driving and probably flight sims too but not for first person shooters and other types of games

I prefer what I am sitting in and what not right now, I would never want one of my friends see me sitting in that.

I could build one now I have the joy stick the mouse the keya borad. ripp up my sysstem mod it a little so that the case is under the chair and the cd drice is in fron of me I mean when you look at it some guse was sitting around and said hey how can I conserve space and make a cool mod. He got rid of the desk put the surround sound in closer proximity and made the mouse joy stick and wheel closer to each other instead of spreading them out on a desk. I think i mihgt try this. I'll keep you guys posted.
