A couple years ago when standing desks were first starting to take off the Ikea Jerker was the go-to. It's not adjustable, and ran ~$100 at the time. Craigslist/Ikea should turn one up for $100-~150 now. I've been using one for nearly 3 years (not always 8 hours/day) and it suits me very well. Get a good mat to stand on and a nice monitor mount and you're set. (that said, $500 for an adustable one is very very reasonable. that price was unimaginable 2 years ago.)
