Affordable High-Back chair that tilts back far?

Hi,

My $70 Ikea Verner chair that tilted pretty far back finally broke, and Ikea doesn't sell it any more. My current replacement chair tilts only 30 degrees back and my back starts hurting after prolonged gaming, which never happened with the Verner. Does anyone here know of any high-back chair under $200 that tilts farther back than normal chairs (at least 40-45 degrees)?

To answer my own question for future Googlers, I found the Staples Eckert on clearance for $99: http://www.staples.com/Staples-Eckert-Bonded-Leather-Mid-Back-Chair-Brown/product_460130

Variable lumbar, lock at any tilt, rated for up to 10 hours of use per day (double the rating for most sub-$200 Staples / Office Depot chairs), max lift height is slightly higher than standard chairs, high back (though Staples says it's "mid-back", my head touches the headrest and I'm 5'10), and seems to tilt back a bit more than standard chairs (about 35-40 degrees). It's a pretty big chair, and I find it comfortable enough for $99. And since it's under $100, the extra 3-year SquareTrade warranty's only $10.
