Any others? I need some inspiration for a gaming rig to my son.

For PC gaming, you can't really beat a nice, high quality wood table with a good chair. I wouldn't go gimmicky and embarrassing.

Most of those setups are pure  :dizzy:.

I agree with you on this.

I think these setups are clearly less about practicality and more about "because I can".  We can at least appreciate them on that level.

That said my first thought with that pic in the OP was, "only one monitor?".

Still missing the sweet dragon sideart and mini-fridge but you get the idea.

That's boring. It has be some kind of cool. Not like these rigs, but something a 17 year old boy may like.

I much prefer a nice clean looking standup arcade cabinet like MANY of the ones I have seen here over the past year. I especially have a hate on for large Frankenpanels lol.

I just built a 4 player cab but I modelled it after TMNT and simpsons so the control panel is much more conservative than the monstrosities I have seen online. But alas who am I to judge.....but cup holders on a CP......really????

You can tell they are not married. Not because it's computers but because no wife would let this happen.

But seriously, a cockpit or racing style like this would also be kinda cool for console gaming. Especially if you have a dedicated game room.

I look at those pics and what I see is a man who's prostate hasn't made friends with his bladder yet.  Anything that difficult to get in and out of = nope.

This is why all jim's pc's employ a liquid cooled catheter option.
