As the video didn't give us a real good view of that compartment it's hard to tell just how much space is really available given the curvature on the panel he pulled off and such. With some slight/major mods it might be possible to use that compartment itself AS the computer casing, better still if there's some holes/ports that could be used for adding liquid cooling radiators to the outside.

[@imnotdavidxnsx]

Dude, for $15K those speakers really need to be freaking incredible, and it doesn't sound like they're even close incredible.

It should come with a PC standard setup with high end parts minus games and GPU, small tablet monitor to adjust air and link to camera monitoring outside the jedi box.. for $15,000.. the price of a small car today and it goes nowhere? It's uncomfortable and you better bring your phone on the first date because your kids college money wasn't enough to include the PC. Personally, in its current state a ripoff.

As a disabled person who can't sit down in regular chairs for longer than maybe 15 to 20 minutes due to significant pain, this kind of setup would be a dream come true, especially with a proper reclining mechanism, so I could have almost a horizontal position, with the screen rotating to being above me more or less... shame that I'll never be able to afford something like that, let alone a large enough living space to put it in...

The controls can be handled by an RPi/Arduino, and programmable rf remotes are cheap(or use an old phone w/ ir blaster).

[@zora_tech]

For $15,000 that is a huge asking price especially considering you could get a motorized sit/stand desk starting at $300 and going up from there. If they would have said $1,500-$2,000, that is still a lot, but its more reasonable than what they are currently asking. Also I am not sure if LMG didnt cover much at CES or does it seem like there really wasnt much this year?

The Acer Predator Thronos was the chair that Jake referenced. That chair also tilted you back to a more or less lying position. There were more chairs like that on the market. They were called scorpion chairs. The benefit would be a more relaxed position and less muscle fatigue. As I never was in the position to try it and definitely not in the position to buy one, I don't know if that promise was kept. I am not really sold on the sound part of this chair. I would have thought that the sound would be better. I don't mind a bit of RGB, but is al that RGB around you not very distracting? I saw some of the RGB reflected in the monitor and I would probably be permanently distracted by it.
