When working with computer hardware, a great deal of thought goes into the computer, display, and peripherals, but the analysis often stops at this point. Occassionally someone will see fit it discuss a mouse pad or sound equipment, but every user knows the computing experience does not end there. Other products can have a great impact on how we work and play on our computers, like the right desk and lighting, but no peripheral has a greater impact than seating. Though you may be sitting in front of computer with a dual core processor, dual video cards, any number of hard drives, a 24" LCD monitor, an ergonomic keyboard, and a wireless laser mouse, chances are you have not given proper thought to whatever it is you are sitting on.

While proper seating is not the first thing that comes to mind when you are attempting to get something done on the computer, the issue of ergonomics in the office has been getting lots of attention for the past few years. If you take a moment to consider how long you spend sitting at your computer, whether it is at home gaming or at the office writing code, the hours rack up quickly. There is no question that your position while doing these tasks should be comfortable and ergonomically sound. While this can be accomplished with many different types of chairs, that aluminum folding chair is not going to cut it.
