Anyone got any recommendations on a good chair to get for computer use?

Go to Office Max, and sit in all of the chairs. The store near my parents has about 50 different office chairs. Purchasing a chair you're going to use a lot without first trying it out is really really dumb. For example, my dad really liked one chair and was trying to pressure me into getting it. But then I sat down, and it hurt. A lot. Alot, even. Both a lot and alot together. The chair I ended up getting was about $50.

As a related note, any online Office Max orders of $50 or more have free shipping. So if you happen to find something amazing for $47.83 after tax, buy some paper too.

I did essentially the same thing as Bob.

The chair I got is not particularly good. My office chair is actually adjustable enough that I can sit in it for 8 hours every day and not hurt myself. For me, it's mainly an issue of getting the height and back correct. My Office Max (or Depot or wherever the hell I got mine) chair doesn't have an adjustable back. If you find a chair less than $200 that lets you adjust the back height, let me know.

or you can get a chair with tall back like the one I have. It comes all the way up to my head so I can rest my head on it. I hate the chair where the back comes up to your neck and leave your head hanging without support.

Er, I don't need someplace to put my head. I actually rather dislike tall backs because they make me hunch my shoulders over. They never fit.

No, I was referring to lower back support. My office chair is contoured so it supports my lower back. I have to raise the back all the way up so it is in the right position for this. My crap home chair doesn't adjust.

Was considering the Aeron chair that CMU bought a bunch randomly, but they run like $600 -_- But considering I probably spend more time in the chair than my couch...
