It is a fun idea to have one of those book wheels but with laptops loaded instead of books.

A whole server tower filled with kvm racks? http://static3.bigstockphoto.com/thumbs/6/1/1/large2/11606903.jpg http://static3.bigstockphoto.com/thumbs/6/1/1/large2/1160690...

  Only one will be at the ergonomically correct height. Unless your "real project" is making a variable height powered automated chair. Which is an interesting idea. Given an infinite amount of cheap space (coasties need not apply) something like a teeter-totter with a counterweight to lower static torques to practically nothing... A motionless chair might result in less sea sickness when combined with a moving rack. COTS is boring but COTS you can buy half racks and lift tables with multi ton capacity for moving machinery (think like, engine blocks) You'd want some kind of shielding to keep kids and pets out of the works. And you'd need some kind of interlocking to prevent forcing a open laptop thru your lap when lowering.

I was thinking workbenches, and tools, if the wheel can lock into place with a spring loaded foot pedal or something. Spin the wheel get your SMD rework station, spin the wheel get your RF test equipment, spin the wheel get your connector assembly workbench, spin the wheel get the fastener screwdriver and wrench shelf. I enjoy unusual carpentry projects and I'm now thinking about making a 3-wheeler for my library room in my house as a big project. Wouldn't that look interesting? I'm getting a dark stained oak and brass fittings feeling about the whole project. Maybe start on a much smaller scale with a kitchen spice rack at 1/4 scale. One operational problem is I read recreational books one at a time on kindle app or real space, not 18 books in parallel, and if I do anything academic enough to require actual citations or verifications that's exclusively browser tabs online. I might end up building something really cool that I won't actually use.
