Cooler Master ORB-X and DYN-X Detailed: Step Aside Tables and Chairs, Purpose-built Gaming Furniture is Here

Cooler Master thinks that the gaming furniture should just be tables, desks, or chairs with certain gamer-specific functions or comforts, but entirely purpose-built rigs that work to improve immersion. The company over 2022-23 has been on a mission to bridge the gap between the conventional desktop, and a pro-grade simulator, with the 2022 announcement of the ORB-X, and the 2023 unveiling of the DYN-X. The ORB-X is a specialty gaming furniture that combines a desk and seat. You're supposed to install a curved gaming monitor on its top armature that envelopes you when you're seated; while a tray slides out with your input devices. The whole setup barely takes more space in your room than a payphone booth would, but promises hours upon hours of uninterrupted gameplay as you feel like Giger's Space Jockey. The DYN-X is a set of rigging for a DIY race simulator. The first portion of it is a set of stands that can hold on to three curved gaming monitors that you can span a single display-head across, for an immersive motorsport or flight simulator experience. The second portion of it is a race-sim "rollcage" that features race sim input devices.

That Fanatec setup is beyond awesome. The other "2001: A Space Odyssey" thing is just meh.

I've seen that ORB thing in pictures before and thought it was stupid before, but, seeing now that it actually LIGHTS UP, I can't stop laughing! :roll::roll:

Oh, a payphone booth, that's certainly not obnoxiously large in the living or attic.

No bidet, soda dispenser and pleasuring device? Whoever designed this doesn't know gamers.

If your goal is triple monitor simulation, shouldn't they have flat screens?
Or is there a racing/flying sim software with correction for curved screens to show straight lines as straight?

Racing setup is absolutely amazing. The other thing is just ridiculous. Unless you've a massive room to put about 6 in and then have some LAN fun.
