So, I came across Gamedeck's site, and another thread here, and I am thinking about making a similar setup, with a PC included. This means, space is not an issue for the PC, as it will be a large tower, about as tall as the reclining auto bucket seat I install. I am not talking about the specs of the PC here, rather I am talking about the case itself.
So, here is the outline...
Structure
The Base Frame Structure will be strictly aluminum, and will be shaped as follows:
Starting from the back, there will be 2 large beams, about 5 feet high, holding the computer chamber starting from the bottom to about 3 feet, and then going up to form platforms, starting at 4.5 feet, in which the rear surround speakers for the 5.1 system will go.
Going forward, on the bottom of the 2 rear beams, will be 2 horizontally opposed beams, about 5-6 feet long, which have on top of them, a sheet of aluminum, or wood, going about 3-4 feet from the back, or the "floor". On top of the "floor" on the base, will be the automotive bucket seat, with railings for it. At the end of the "floor", will be 2 2.5 foot high beams and 2 5 foot high beams. 5 foot high beams will have flat sheeting going across it, with LCD monitor VESA mounts, and on top, 1 sheet that holds the center channel surround speaker for the 5.1 system. 2.5 foot high beams will have aluminum or wood surface on top of the 2.5 foot high beams, and connecting to the 5 foot high beams, making the desk. The desk portion will flow out over the seat's lap area, and be wider than the base, making perfect space for the Keyboard, Mouse, and L/R channel surround speakers. For the wiring, that goes back, down and under the "floor" towards the PC in the rear. Extensions for the cords are needed and will be used.
And, with that complicated info, I will show you a picture later when I scan the drawing I made.
Stay Tuned for more details, and when I get the resources (later this summer), look forward to a worklog.
