Talking The ultimate gamer's interface

Quote:
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

Hmm, doesn't look very comfortable, and the monitor is too small. Looks like it may be best for driving games.
