MIT Students create a standing desk you can afford

For most people I don't think a full-time standing desk is necessarily optimal either; I'm using a Geekdesk, which has a motor that allows a sit-stand option (http://jseliger.wordpress.com/2012/09/23/the-geekdesk-writin...).

There are some efforts to build cheaper sit-stand desks—I gave a couple bucks to this one: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2036834894/the-most-aff... .
