The ultimate in ergonomic workstations isn't just a fancy chair or keyboard. It's a veritable cage of computing designed to provide the most comfort for computer users.
Unlike other takes on ergonomics that focus mainly on one piece of equipment, the Peace One series by Personal Computing Environments attempts to reduce repetitive stress injuries from long-term computer use from a whole body's perspective.
Wrapped around an ergonomic chair are keyboard and monitor systems that are set at specific heights to ensure maximum comfort. Current models, the PeaceMaker and MasterPeace, come in six metallic colors and are geared toward office professionals and game aficionados. But like a pair of pocketless pants, the Peace One workstation lacks any place to stick your stuff. So your essential disks, workbooks and files are going to have to rest somewhere nearby to this desk-free computer arrangement.
The minimal PeaceMaker and the tricked out MasterPeace don't come cheap, though. A computer-less version of the simple PeaceMaker, which allows customers to install their own systems, costs the consumer $2,800. A fully customized MasterPeace - with up-to-date processing power and maybe even a massage chair - starts at about $9,000. Your only decision is how much to pay for computer comfort.
