This guy used a car chair for his computer set up:

Myself...
My LCD monitors are on a skinny \_/ shaped bench with only room for
the monitor stands. Clutterfree.
I mounted a mouse table on my armrest.. Was funny to let go of my
wireless mouse and watch it slide off onto the floor :)

Someday I'll be constructing a tube frame to suspend the monitors.
Got inspired by the hovercraft computer workstation in the Matrix
movies.

Anybody have some interesting custom computer station set ups?

Be careful. When hocking yourself on I5 for 7 hours to go to L.A. you
barely move, except for popping in a new CD. Very different with PC work.

I spared no expense on office chairs here. Only the good stuff,
orthopedic grade etc. They were north of $500 each but also seem to last
forever. The model in the lab is a "knee swing" type, no back rest,
forces me to sit upright. It really cuts down on the backpain episodes.

I have to wonder about the need to be upright for computer work..
Maybe it's just to keep people awake and looking busy? :)

I was at the dentist in a very comfy dental chair and watched tv on
the ceiling.
This is probably the most relaxing position for the back.
What's stopping this from becoming a computer workstation?
Laying back and looking skyward at the monitors and keyboarding off
the lap should be ok..
