Emperor Work Station: A Chair that redefines the word Epic

Ever wonder what you’d spend your money on first if you won the lottery? Well might I nudge you into the general direction of NovaQuest’s Emperor Work Station.

 

This quite epic chair (if you can call it a chair) debuted earlier this year at CES 2009 and although being quite low key in comparison to other products, definitely caught the attentions of a few observers. Yes it has the words “Work Station” in the title but believe you me, this looks suspiciously more like an awesome gaming rig.

The actual CPU itself is rather unremarkable but let’s face it, if you’re to throw $40,000 at a chair, you’re not going to be using some run of the mill stock PC. And seriously, an “Air Purification System”, who knows, the might version might include Bacta tanks to heal wounds.

 

 

However all this hardware does come at a premium. A whole $40,000 of your hard earned cash. But like I mentioned, if you’ve just won the lottery and have a bit of cash to throw around, why not throw it at the Emperor Work Station.
