Hi everyone, I'm looking for a new chair and desk. To start out I need quite a bit of room since I have 2 monitors and a draw pad and such. I tried looking at Ikea.com and didn't find anything I like. If anyone has any suggestions I would gladly accept them. I was looking the the workstation thread and their are a lot of nice desk that I like in there.
Chair wise I was looking at http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7675456&st=octane&type=product&id=1134702322552
if anyone has any other suggestions feel free to add them.








Thank you
 
I have a friend that has that chair and swears by it, he thinks it is extremely comfortable, and a good purchase.
 
Give us an idea of the style of desk you'd like. Like many here, I'm an IKEA fan for PC desks. The Galant is excellent because you can put together a desk exactly as you want it. Of course, the sentimental favorite is the inexplicably discontinued Jerker. Check Craig'sList for amazing prices on used Jerkers.

For something rather unique, try this: go to Home Depot or Lowe's and buy an unfinished wood door (like in your house) and prop it over a pair of file cabinets, sawhorses or just about anything. You can stain, paint the door or just leave it as is. The door knob hole is perfect for all your cables. I built a "door desk" for my first condo, a little studio, and it was great.

So I like desk that have a rise since it provides room for my 2 monitors, but the first one would do fine since it has plenty of room for the monitors.
 
You have excellent taste in desks, but the first 2 are versions of the discontinued IKEA Jerker. If you really want one, check Craig'sList. The Galant can be configured like the 4th desk. Office Depot and Staples carry lots of desks.
 
The Octane is a great chair (sitting in mine as I type this), but definitely not the best. I sat in this really nice leather chair in Staples, very similar to the one in the last pic that Narcotixx posted. It was ridiculously comfortable, but it was also around $300. :eek:
 
i like the 4th desk... anyone know what its called?
i just looked up @ ikea the galant and it doesnt have as many add-ons for it as the 4th desk...
