I'm looking for a task chair, that is a chair that is optimized for ergonomics and designed for logging many of hours of computer work, and I'm having a hard time finding something locally that I like, so I'm willing to try shopping online if I get any strong recommendations or see any compelling options.

This chair definitely needs arm adjustment capability, it needs to be able to be extended fairly high off the ground, and it needs to be very friendly to my body. I'm not looking for a good looking, chic, classy, businessney lounge type leather chair or something, but something I can geek it out with.

So, any suggestions?

Aeron Work Stool - Graphite Frame

Good posture support for extended hours.

I have an Aeron chair at work and I think it's great. While it's has been compared to a symbol of the dotcom bubble, all hype and little follow through, I quite like mine. I sit in it every day all day and I am never sore or tired from sitting. The downside is that they're kind of pricey.
