Now all you need is the removal of that "thing" that presumably calls itself a computer!! Looks like you put it through a car compactor :eek: Or maybe it's designed so cats can use it? Can be tough for them to reach the buttons on a full size tower ;)

It's treated me well Nursemorph! 10 years old now and still behaving for the most part! I added one of the only small form factor GPU's I could find 8 years ago and also the best compatibale LGA1155 socket CPU I could find more recently to try to keep it alive, but alas it is time to turn into a school web search and word machine from here on. Linux Mint may be calling too perhaps.....

I previously had a desk unit made for it as it was in a spare bedroom - with room for the tower, printer and paper and all that - and a pull out keybord shelf - hidden behind two soft close doors with a little fold up stool.

I am actually looking forward to having a bigger block shortly. It will fit neatly on the little Hama wheels thingy (handy also for better PSU airflow) and sit in the same position straddling the leg of the new IKEA table. A little gentle RGB should help make it a bit more of a feature I hope!

I'm looking for a new desk myself, the one I'm using is very, very old, but I managed to find a used Herman Miller Mirra for for around 350 quid and I can't recommend it enough, it's very comfortable. Though, as a note, I've only been using it for about a month now.

Hey guys - awaiting for my new PC to arrive. Given the stock issues around the 3060ti and 5600x I'd imagine i've got a good 4weeks+ to find it a nice new place to sit in my flat.

I'm a long time console gamer so, I'm having to buy pretty much everything for the PC.. not least a desk and chair. Gonna be using it mostly for gaming, ideally something that doesn't take up a whole lot of room.

Any recommendations or even good sites to visit for this? Budget circa £200 for both desk and chair.

^I highly recommend that chair. I am 6 foot and a normal build and for me it is extremely comfortable at a reasonable price point. Aesthetically pleasing and is available in different colours although I'm not sure if amazon offers anything other than the black. Easily built too. The only 'downside' is that the armrests for me aren't far enough back as I like to recline the chair more than the average user would.

Maybe you already have a chair at this stage but if you don't I'd suggest you have a look at this one.

Honestly I don't get the point in people spending 400 plus on a Secret Lab chair, maybe I'm missing something like a joystick for automated movement around your room?

I like the way they make a point of the '360º rotate feature' - you mean it spins around like EVERY other gaming chair?

Strangely the reviews are all either 5-star with seemingly odd "it's comfortable because of the comfort" or "easy to assemble, only took 3 hours" rubbish, or 1-star reviews with "broken after 4 months".

If you want that type of chair, then it seems pointless to spend £200 when you can get the same 'features' for less than half.

But, ultimately, you'll only know if it fits your exact requirements if you buy it and use it, as my bum/back will be different to everybody else's. But I'm not sure what Amazon's return policy is if it 'just doesn't work' for you after 3 months?

I'm just saying that I like the chair, no idea what you're rambling about :ROFLMAO: It took me no more than 45 mins to assemble, and as for it fitting different people differently, well, yes, obviously, which is why I stated my height and build.
