Gaming desk

chili_fecker

Hi lads. Does anyone know anywhere to get a gaming pc desk and chair?
Cheers!

you can get a functional cheap desk and chair set pretty much anywhere, IKEA and argos, harvey normans etc.. do build it yourself ones, Office supply companies can get your serious professional and expensive ones, there's probably specialists too for gamer chairs & desks but they wont be cheap

gizmo

Take a look at the Bekant series of desks in Ikea. They're the follow up to the excellent Galant series and, while seemingly not having as many options as its predecessor, should still have something to suit your needs.

I'm gonna buy something like this in the next week or two.

I got a nice desk but had to raise it with seom MDF. I find most desks are too low down for me.

I'm just gonna hop on here. I'm also looking for a gaming chair upgrade.

Got one from argos couple months ago. Was grand at first but the arse padding is giving way and starting to feel like sitting on hard plastic.

I dont mind spending €200 if i find a good comfy one. Preferably breathable mesh, and will stand the test of time.

Also looking for a desk upgrade soon after to house a new pc build, ps4, ps3 xbox and some files.

Beginning to think i may need to go custom for the desk. They're spoiled for choice over in the states!!!

Id actually love to integrate the pc build into a glass desk like above.

Anyone have any experience with these???

Cheers for suggestions guys, I was kinda looking for a mesh seat...

hey BEPOLITE, the cushion in the base of that markus chair hasn't faded at all?? I'm not obese or anything, but I'm not a light fellow :P

I'll be working alot in this chair as well as gaming so anything up to 8hours a day...

Do you think that chair would work with a setup like this (not mine): http://i.imgur.com/G3uc2PU.jpg

I badly need a new chair as I started using that joystick recently but its putting strain on my back because my chair is too low and there is only so much that extra cushions can do. My chair arms won't take those joystick mounts either.

Can anyone recommend a gaming chair? Preferably one with comfortable armrests. I'v had my one for years now and it's on its last legs I think.

How much do you want to spend?

LOL if only :P

Probably about €200 would be a max budget. As far as I'm concerned, I game a lot and a chair will last me years so €200 would be a good investment.

BTW for a gaming desk, I'v been using the IKEA Expedit Desk/Bookcase combo for years. The table area is huge, I'v had a 32" monitor for yonks and still loads of room for keyboards, mouse, external hard drives and even an extra laptop on the desk.

I checked IKEA there and doesn't seem to be selling it anymore. You could always make your own desk from IKEA by buying the parts seperately i.e large wooden surface and then seperate legs for the table and drill into it.

@Bepolite: Awesome setup, did you custom make it? If so where did you buy parts to make the desk?

I've had this one for a few years: http://www.ikea.com/ie/en/catalog/products/50244741/

It's great, though with 24" and 22" monitors side-by-side it's a little cramped at the moment. Good if you're short enough on floor space though.

Why not go for a combo of chair + table ?

That the one I have with the wee cabinets that go eitherside and all the crap ripped off the top of it.

Who could resist a desk called Mickie - in Ireland.
