The pod is my latest project in stupid ways to spend money. 

I play my computer games now sitting in a new massage recliner with a custom made fake leather 2 keyboard tray in my lap.  The chair is in front of a 5 foot by 6 foot screen which the SXGA high res projector behind me hanging from the ceiling and it projects my picture onto the screen. So I am playing on a almost life sized screen.   Online Games like Everquest and Dessert combat are sweet at that size.  When a tank rolls by in surround sound and is life size on the screen its pretty cool.  AND YES........I KNOW I HAVE ISSUES....  ; )

 

Here are some photos.  Click to enlarge.
