Where Can I Buy a Gaming Chair In Store?

Gaming chairs are awesome. Yeah, we all know that. But, unfortunately,
they are not easily purchasable in stores, that is if you are looking for a genuine gaming chair.

Most of us before buying anything would rather try it out first... just in case. Same with gaming chairs, most of us would rather try them first in case it isn't comfortable or doesn't fit. As unfortunate as it is you'll rarely find one in stores. Though some PC gaming chair brands do have showrooms that you can try them in (like DXRacer), they are not exactly all that convenient either. But don't be disappointed just yet. Truth is there are other ways to tell if the gaming chair you are looking at fits you or not.

If what you are looking at is a decent gaming chair it's bound to have the recommended weight limit in the product description. Both console and PC gaming chairs often have those and they are usually enough to make your choice a safe one. Additionally, high-end gaming chairs tend to have not only weight but height recommendations too and sometimes even full measurements of each and every part of the chair. Make sure you follow recommendations and measurements and you can rest assured it's going to fit you perfectly.

RGB Lighting Gaming Chair

Just recently I saw a fellow forum citizen ask a question if there are gaming chairs with LED lighting and unfortunately the answer was - no. However, as I was wasting my life on Youtube.com I found an interesting video about building an RGB lighting PC gaming chair and it really impressed me.

 

 Seems to be a very nice idea so I thought I would share it with those who think their gaming setup lacks some LED element and color.

3 Awesome Custom Built Table PCs

Gaming table PCs are just awesome and are most likely every PC gamer's dream. Building one can be a big task. You need money, knowledge, creativity and time. It really can be a daunting task if you've never done it before.



"So where exactly do I start?". Fortunately for all of us, there are plenty of hardcore PC builders that know a lot of stuff about PCs and, well, building. And some of them have shared their build projects with public.

Below are 5 PC desk builds that I'm a huge fan of and would love to use as a reference for my own PC desk.

Save some money up and get building, there are plenty of references and ideas to choose from. While it might seem hard at first there's nothing like the feeling of completing your first build.
