Just buy cinder blocks from your local hardware store and place them under your desk legs, it should cost less then 10 dollars. :p It works...

haha 17 hours! :lol: It actually works good with a laptop, so if your tired you can always go sitdown. I just plan on spending 8 hours a day studying math while at the desk. Helps with blood circulation. Trying to be less sedentary and also live a active life style.

I saw a neato thing recently where you can get one of these made out of cardboard which makes it really easy to move around. It's a pretty cool idea.

I built one out of parts from Ikea recently. Cost $70 CAD, probably much cheaper in USD. http://iamnotaprogrammer.com/Ikea-Standing-desk-for-22-dollars.html

Standing in one place for long periods of time is not easy on your body. After about 4 hours, my feet hurt so bad I have to sit down. I got a high barstool that I can pull up and sit in and still reach my keyboard. Also a gel pad to stand on. Carpet wasn't cutting it.
