#42I've used an Alvin minimaster drafting table ($129) for the past 4 years: http://www.amazon.com/Alvin-MiniMaster-Adjustable-Drafting-T... I like it so much that I bought a second one for more desk space. Along with a drafting chair ($150): http://www.amazon.com/LexMod-Office-Drafting-Chair-Leatheret...
I'd be interested in a picture of your setup. How do you have the monitor and keyboard so they don't just slide off of it? Doesn't it feel like you're using your mouse on a hill-side?
Angle is adjustable, a slight one is no problem.

#43Earlier quoted context omitted.
Sorry about that - brand new DigitalOcean instance and Anchor CMS installation. I guess I have some optimizing to do. Won't even accept new SSH connections.
Perhaps it is hitting the memory ceiling? When a machine runs out of memory, sometimes new SSH connections can fail because when it tries to fork the processes needed to handle the session, that forking can fail. You may want to look at how much memory MySQL in particular is allowed to consume on the box. It is actually very configurable in that regard, but pretty greedy out of the box. Thanks for trying to bring the…
Back up for the moment, resized the instance from 512 MB of RAM to 8 GB. Time for a crash course in MySQL memory optimization.

#44I'd really like an adjustable desk for my home, but at 160x80 (cm) it's just too big. Why can't idea do a smaller version of this, which would suit a simple home office with an iMac on it.
I have it at home in size 70x120, so I guess it comes in multiple desk sizes.

Interesting. How easy is it to switch between sitting and standing? Does it make sense with a heavy 4K monitor on it?

I spend entirely more time than I should being semi-baffled at the way the internet has largely forgotten that you can just buy tall chairs and never have to worry about motors or adjustment speed or weight limits (to say nothing of cost).

#47I bought a sit-stand frame from Ergotron[0] which I fitted my old desk surface onto which saved me quite a bit of money.
I don't like cranks or electronic motors. My criteria for a sit/stand desk was that it must be fast and practically effortless to switch between the two positions. For that you cannot beat a lift-system like the one in the Ergotron.

You adjust the chair so the seat is just slightly lower than your butt then to switch to standing you slide forward off the stool. To switch back you do a little half hop onto your butt.

#49How wide do they make them? I have three 27" monitors (for film and video work) and would like to add a fourth one.
edit: Apparently there's also BEKANT which is motorised.
