I need a computer chair pretty bad, my current one squeaks and looks terrible. Anyone have any suggestions out there?

Preferably under $200 if possible

That chair Diamon linked... yeah exact same one I use at work and I wouldn't advise it for gaming. The chair is very comfortable for the first hour or two, but above and beyond it gets rather painful.

I'd check out one of those mesh backed chairs, the ones specifically designed for long periods of usage, like 5+ hours a day.

I bought this from local bestbuy for around $130. It works well as gaming chair:

I did lots of chair research before I replaced mine about a year ago.

The costco chairs are pretty nice, but they are really just a better looking version of your standard office depot chair. They'll only be comfortable for a year or less.

Personally, I think a business grade task chair is the best bet. They are comfortable, last forever, and look sharp. Check out Steelcase, Humanscale, or Haworth... Maybe even a Herman Miller Aeron -- it's what I went with, but I'm a sucker for the plastic lawn chair look. Unfortunately you'll spend 4x more on these than your typical costco/office depot chair, but how can you put a $ figure on comfort, really. ;)

ZiranI vote for this baby, absolute awsome chair. I have one at work, just need to get one for the house. This chair gets recommended a lot by fellow gamers so it is definately near the top of the budget lists for chairs.
