Thermaltake X Comfort Air Gaming Chair Has Active Cooling For Your Bum
What is it with the Gaming chair trend? It is being marketed so aggressively that you just "have to" purchase a gaming chair? The newest low is the new Thermaltake X Comfort Air Gaming Chair, this chair has active fans that will cool down your bum, up-to 1.5 Degrees C.
The cooling system inside this chair is based on four fans housed in the base of the chair which has been fitted with perforated leather. Thermaltake mentions this setup system can cool the seat by between 0.6ºC and 1.5ºC. The noise level of the fans is stated as 32 DB(A). Who knows you can RPM regulate the fans with your motherboard right? :)
Jokes aside, the price of this gaming chair ha not reached a new level of stupidity, it starts at 499 USD with the leather version being $550,- The X Comfort Air gaming chair is available in red or black options.
Can get you guys an advice, the entire gaming chair thing exploded and is just silly. Go to Ikea, check out and perhaps get the Markus at a 150 bucks?

Well according to the thermagraph`s it also cools your back.....dont believe that for one minute, probably be cheaper to buy a gelpad jacket like the F1 drivers use, personally i like my bum nice and warm.

I can see this having some unintended consequences when one lets off some gas during those intense gaming sessions

That means your bum is not too big and definitely not too hairy. Those two together in a hot summer's day...

Sounds like a silly gimmick. Never felt my bum in need of cooling.

You could also use a normal chair and use a $10 fan pointed at you

Yeah but I mean, what if you're overclocking? That gives you a few more butt-a-hurtz of headroom doesn't it?

Cmon guys, don't be stupid: those fans/cooling is for our " family jewels" I definitely need one of these chairs but not for long gaming sessions. One of these could be useful when my parents take all of our kids with them for 7 - 12 days vacation somewhere, me and my lady home alone for such a long time... welll 
.... ultimate test both for chair construction and for fans inside
edit
$499 ...OOOOKKkkkk ...thanks but no thanks... bag full of ice over the "jewels" and AC on max should provide enough cooling for everything that hurts hahaha

Chair don't look specially ergonomic (imo).
Cushion for back, abit too flat surfaces here and there..
Cooling fo ass is funny and cool idea, coz ass area is the one of the hottest place in human body - some ppl may like it in the long summer gamming session.
But..
For 500$ plus taxes I can start consider cosmetic chair, with electrical regulation, or massage

Nice call on the Markus from Ikea HH, that's what I use and so far I can say without a doubt I have had no serious a*s overheating issues with it.

I just want to know if there is a fart filter... cause some times... that gas can ruin a good gaming session.
