I never understand the fascination with moveable standing desks, instead of just getting a tall "drafting" chair like you did. That also lets you put shelves or hanging holders (eg for tower cases) under the desk.

You may be able to find the Ikea Jerker on craigslist or other classifieds. I got mine from a college student for relatively cheap, I think around $40 or $60. It works great as a standing desk but you don't have any motorized mechanism to lower or lift the desk. This is probably a good thing if you are trying to stand but an alternative solution is getting a high-rise stool/seat. I alternate between standing and sitting now.

I just got one of these[1] and I'm loving it. My wife laughed hard when I ordered it, but after testing it out she was practically cooing.

It's $100 and it's almost perfect - the one thing I may do is add an angled footrest. But I'm not in a big rush.
