A computer chair worthy of The Matrix

Calling the "G-Tech Neber" ergonomic is like saying Al Gore is an environmentalist. But to truly appreciate the understatement, you need to see a photo of this unique piece of computer furniture, if not actually sit in it.

Shiny Shiny describes it as "part dentist chair," but the "Personal Computing Environment Station" has a lock on that hybrid. We think it actually bears a closer resemblance to the "Alternative Computer Control System" featured awhile back, mostly because of their curved frames.

Regardless of how well the Korean-made Neber compares, at least it has a more creative moniker than the pedestrian names bestowed on the other chairs. Can we assume that it has something to do with the Nebuchadnezzar of Matrix fame? We can just see Neo in one of these, head plugs notwithstanding.

Matrix as inspiration? How about Nautilus...

...as in the gym equipment company, not the Jules Verne sub or any Greek tie-ins. A bit shiny than the usual health club fare, but it looks like all that it's missing are the stationary bike pedals or the leg extension curl.

You can get ambient light system for your game center from http://www.a-r-e.nl

I have the light system light up the arcade machine and desktop area. See pics at http://www.instructables.com/id/E57XCQFHMQEV2ZFRZJ/

It could fit nice with The Matrix !!
