The keyboard is ~6 inches above my waistline, which feels perfect to me. The screens are the same distance from my head whether I'm standing or sitting. I keep a barstool by the desk for any periods when I am tired, although interestingly

There are tons of cool little ideas out there, and plenty of big ones as well. I'll plug one of my recent creations: http://shouldbeback.com/
