Come on! Let us see your chair! Please tell us about extra functions! :D
Here's mine:
extra functions: Height, tilt and a home made pillow on the right arm support(gaming was hard on the elbow).
I use a cheap racing seat for mine thats bolted onto a frame with the height and tilt thingys from a regular chair.
i have this "high back leather executive" chair i got for christmas last year, it's the best computer chair i've EVER seen, i think it was like 80 bucks, and it's so comfortable, i've slept in it before

I have a chair similar to the one shown above, but fabric. WHen you first sit in it, its rather soft, but goes flat after an hour or so. I am thinking of opening it up and filling it with temperpedic stuff.

My chair is pretty much the same, black lather like material with tilt control. Love the tilt!
I dont know where mine is but its a big low level leather comfy seat, its annoying sometimes though cause im so low.

I donno, but its not very comfortable, it weighs over 60 lbs, back tilt is tight (even with adjusting it) and you can change height. Plus is has a butt angle adjustment, so it can be like a bucket seat (almost) or a normal seat

I have another one of those leather executive highback chairs that seem so popular. I really hate it though the armrests are not adjustable and the "pleather" is cold in the winter and hot in the summer.
This spring/summer I plan on moving up to the BMW of chairs the Herman Miller Aeron. If you dont know what this chair is all about I sugest you look it up, its a legend :D.
doesn't the steering wheel get in the way of typing stuff or playing games?
or is it easily removable?

Mista Ting has my chair, except mine doesn't have arms.
And it doesn't use a button to go up and down. Very comfy though.

I have a leather chair from walmart. starting falling apart ripping open in a month. It's this one, http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.gsp?product_id=2193959. Nothing duct tape can't fix, but I guess you get what you pay for.

......and a home made pillow on the right arm support............
That is a good idea. Anyone know if anyone sells just armrest pads? Maybe gel pads with dbl sided tape or bolts that I can drill into the armrest thats there? I tried googling it and the search here but come up with nothing. What should I search under? My dad has one similar to yours, DaWiper. Unfortunitly he complained about the armrests being too hard on his arms so I want to correct that for him.

One of those executive chairs with the high back. Don't think its too good for your back when you spend lots of hours in front of the computer.

I have an Athlon 64 3500+ and a Geforce 6800 GT but I can't afford a chair.
That is, I'm just too cool for a chair :cool:

mines not actually an office chair, Its a rocking, revolving reclining chair made of really fake leathery looing plastic. The base is a big black metal ring, it came with a rocking ottoman and I got it for 100 bucks at shopko. I got it before I had this computer so i put the computer where the chair was and then used the chair. Its getting pretty beat up though. It cant handle my exultaions or my anger when I win/lose at games. I sat down yesterday and the welds on this horizantal support bar on the back snapped and it popped off...
