Anyone else playing Elite on a Stand Up Desk?

Postby RadioActiveLobster » Sat Dec 12, 2015 4:04 am

I recently upgraded my desk to a sit/stand desk and have really been enjoying playing Elite on it. The ability to stand up seems to work really well (I also use TrackIR 5)

Here is it in the day, so you can see how high it is. This is an older picture, cable management has been improved.

I would like to have the option to stand and play sometimes. I often get tired of sitting before I get tired of E-D. :)

Nice setup! But how do you use it in sitting position? Does it move up and down, or do you use a high chair?

Was considering a standing desk myself, but with wallmounted screens and using pedals it would get a little cumbersome :p

Push of a button and this thing becomes a sitting desk

Link to where I bought the frame. I custom built the desktop as I wanted something larger than what they offered. It also saved me a bunch of money too.

I can only assume you are referring to my avatar/signature picture.
