The Ultimate Nerd Workstation Gets 90% Cheaper, Still Crazy Expensive

There were two major problems with the Emperor 200 workstation. One is that at $40,000, it was just too damn expensive. But even if you could afford the contraption, the other problem was figuring out a way to convince your significant other that the funky workstation goes with your home decor.
NovelQuest, the company behind the Emperor 200, looks to solve one of those problems with a new model that costs far less, but probably still way too much. The Emperor 1510 retains the same basic shape, only this time it costs $4,950, plus the cost of shipping.
For five large, you get an adjustable seat and leg rest, a handmade Canadian steel frame, forward and back tilting capability, an adjustable keyboard tray, LED lighting, and inputs/outputs for plugging in your PC.
The company is taking preorders now and plans to officially launch the new workstation tomorrow.

If you get one of these things you probably don't have to worry about your significan other because a) you don't have one b) you make enough money to put it in a seperate room...and besides she's out shopping all day anyway or c) you bought 2...one for each of you

Problem is you still need a friend to jack it into the back of your head.

Could you make it spin around like NASA's Multi-Axis Trainer. If it did, imagine using this thing with a flight simulator.

Well that's a much more tempting price for what you get. I wonder how much it weighs.

Two questions:
1) Do you get the climb out this thing to pick dropped mouse?
2) where is a cup holder?
