Acer Predator Thronos: Gaming Station
Calling a gaming booth with a chair is made of black metal, the structure is electrically reclining up to 140 degrees, is studded with LED lights and can vibrate in sync with the game.
The monitor stand accommodates up to three 27-inch screens (standard VESA mounts). The whole structure weighs as much as 220kg. There is no precise release date, nor even a price – which we will imagine not being much content anyway.
