One of my co-workers wanted a standing desk but didn't want to have to stand all of the time. We ended up throwing together a custom solution. Here's a video of it in action. The video starts with the desk in the sitting position. http://youtu.be/q2PVtl-_2f4 http://youtu.be/q2PVtl-_2f4 (apologies for the cell phone quality) We took apart a normal desk and combined it with an old plasma TV lift (designed for trade shows back when TVs weighed a lot), a linear actuator, switch, and some random nuts and bolts. It worked out pretty well. It's a little noisy, but you only end up moving it once or twice a day, so that's fine.
