> what desk and how expensive are those desks?
I'm getting this: http://www.ergodepot.com/Jarvis_Desk_p/jrv.htm
Ergo Depot has a bunch of models in a wide price range (from $500 to $2000+). I got some extra options so I ended up paying about $975 myself. That's going all out, my intention is to alternate between sitting and standing during the day and this is the way I decided to do it.
Other folks just buy a static height desk and use a barstool when they want to sit. There are a lot of DIY solutions I saw mentioned as well when researching.

I saw that referenced a number of times. I also saw some nifty setups with a higher and lower area and monitor(s) on moutned arms that could be swiveled from one to the other.
Lastly, in between "new expensive desk" and "complete DIY" is http://www.amazon.com/VARIDESK-34563-Pro-Plus/dp/B00JI6NCCK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1415043513&sr=8-3&keywords=standing+desk.
I don't have mine yet so I can't offer anything beyond what I researched going into it. For me, spending more but not having to build anything myself or deal with any of that was a no brainer, I know for many the opposite is true.
Actually, those are the kind I am talking about. I work with mostly people that are 50+, and most of them have some kind of disability from military service, so they like the idea of those desks, but when it comes down to it they never use them because of back and knee pain.
This is the desk we have
If you're interested in getting one for yourself at some point, I really like this one. It just sits on top of your existing desk instead of being a huge desk in and of itself, and it's roughly 1/3rd the price of a full-sized variable standing desk. I ended up just getting it myself without going through my office and it's been pretty noticeable so far. They have smaller models that are more appropriate for a single-monitor set-up, but the large one works really well for 2.
Our helpdesk guys have spent the last few months setting these up for practically everyone. They seem popular.
We also bought a bunch of motorized L desks for an area we just renovated.
Personally, I'm not even remotely interested. I also don't believe there's much benefit to standing all day vs sitting all day. I just try to get up and move around throughout the day.
That is a VARIdesk Pro plus:

Really? Most up to date offices will have something if you request it. My company just has ones that sit on top of a desk and they can rise and fall--no dedicated standing desks. Something like this except our original ones were only about ~$200 as they're just a platform we put our laptops on that we can rise/fall. Or we stand at our kitchen areas hightop tables. You can find cheaper options. Walldesks are particularly cheap.

Thanks! Still missing the Mii Fighters.
The thingy on my desk isn't a monitor riser, it's a Vari-Desk that lets me use my traditional desk as a standing desk. Desk.

tape measure says 13".
Here's a standing desk i've been pondering. It might be sweet on a folding table but gig transportation seems like it'd be a bear. Maybe it's light enough to throw it in the car; i don't know..
*or one of these Spider stands. i picture putting a thin board across the arms and having a stand up platform to work at.
