No its a gt omega pro (google it cant give links) cost £149.99.
Its basically a dx racer.
Its basically a race car seat, very comfy and it hugs your back adding to confort.

Nice set clean up but you need to adjust your monitor positioning, the backgrounds not lining up would drive me insane.

)
(quote of my project log)Hey guys
I recently moved my system into a 750d if you remember, or if you haven't seen here are the pictures of the system move to my new case, Click spoiler:
Out with the old white and silver version of the akasa eclipse 64, and in with the new 750D(very happy with this case).
I still need some new cables though to match the blue/black theme aswell as some new fans to match my cpu fan so this isn't the final finished build, but I just transferred my parts over today.
Also, my new black fan controller hasn't arrived yet, so if you are wondering what the silver box is next to my hard drive cage, its two akasa jr fan controllers just as temporary. its not as clean cable wise as you pro's but im happy with what I have so far, it this case puts my old one to shame!! I used to run the side panel off my old eclipse 64 as the air cooling was shocking, so
it was a absolute dust magnet. and now in this 750d, the temperatures are lower than they was before, even with a side panel on. very impressed.
Also, this case makes my new 24" Asus monitor look tiny!!!
(Re-uploaded images, last one didn't work for some reason)
750D time!
I just got my new fan controller installed
Also if you wonder why only one graphics card is lit up, I have ulps enabled, I think its a great feature for desktop use
Right.. Thanks to my own stupidity of bricking my motherboard bios, I had nothing to do for a few days, no computer. and I sat and looked at this room I spend most of my time in when im home and indoors, after going through all my teenage life starting to paint it, then giving up after one wall, it ended up, 7 different colours, brown, white, blue, cream, alsorts. you name it, it was probably in here!
So I decided, (the missis decided) Its time to sort this room out once and for all, So now, I am going to show you two pictures of how TERRIBLE my room had gotten, Hence its covered with posters iv picked up over the years from world motocross events just to hide everything. (yeah im a biker btw
Here is my old room with my new 750d
And a panoramic of my old room
Soo... You can see how terrible it all is, step 1. take them posters down, and see just how worse it can get.
Yeah it does get worse haha. Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures of 2 days, 9 hours per day absolute grafting, knocking out built in wardrobes that was installed in the 60s, and stripping wallpaper off, and off the roof that I think had been glued on by the hulk, it took 9 hours just stripping it off even with a steamer....
Okay, so, as mentioned I bricked my old motherboard, so now that my room is almost done (pictures soon to follow in a moment keep reading). lets get that old motherboard out:
old and new
in with the new
And in with the new 16gb ram, fed up of running out of memory when I was using 4gb for the past 4 years
right now my system is up and running, computer and desk is installed, im now sat a few feet more to the right of where I was before, infact my computer is now inside where there was a built in wardrobe, which had a Christmas tree inside from the 80s lol up where the printer is in this picture, I left the bottom of that part of the cupboard in as a nice shelf:
Now to finish off a few bits and bobs. !
Baileys bottles Installed:
Now to paint them shelves !
Now all is looking good, lets get some panoramic pictures of my room, or well, just photos, btw I never apologised for my bad indoor photography! haha. also its dark outside now so just did the best I could with the lighting with my iphone.... here goes! all painted and done....... 18-20hrs.. (2 days work)...... (with help from the missis
No idea what the.. is on tv, but yeah bad panoramic moment.
Also, bad panoramic picture as you can tell with the lighting on this one.
Looks so much better, my photography skills don't help in the slightest, but the room looks ten times bigger in person, I cant get over how good it looks.
btw the tv I just angle towards me when im on my pc, (42" Panasonic plasma)
Whats left to do, is new black curtains, and some blackout blinds instead of using two pair of curtains (cream curtains on one side then black on the other side). need to move that chest of tall draws) and need to move my clothes back in here, haven't dared yet incase theres even one drop of paint not dry. and as for my pc, need to install my new black sata cables that have arrived instead of the old ugly yellow and red ones that's in there now. and all is good.
also moving my desk to the right 3 foot, my pc is closer to the wall, and this corner of the house NEVER gets sun light at any time of the day, coldest part of the house, temperatures have dropped by 5c load!
Now, time for a new cig with my updated specs:
And now, will leave you with some shots of my computer
(and yes that's a 2005 razer diamond black plasma blue Limited edition, still going strong!)

)I'm in the process of building my own desk, and wondered what height all you guys have got your desks (from floor to the top of you desk)?
At work my desk is 71cm from floor to work surface, and I have to have my chair as low as it can possibly go in order for it to be comfortable. I was thinking of building mine so it's 80cm high, what do you lot recon (I'm 6'1" by the way, so not exactly small).

Thanks Jase. I actually got the pictures from the hardback Batman Arkham City game guide. I bought it for that reason.
I've got mine at approximately 90cm
Wow that's pretty high, how do you find it, and how tall are you if you don't mind me asking? Having measured mine again, I think it's going to be about 84cm from the floorboards to the desk surface (I've not got a carpet/underlay down yet).
It's be really informative if people with custom desks could measure theirs as well
my little setup

This is my setup with the desk at 90cm im just under 6 foot and my chair is a high operator chair the same as I have at work
