I have implemented a standing workstation. I've heard that sitting for long hours is detrimental to one's health. Some of the people at my wife's workplace have been standing for some time now and no one who changed to a standing work station has changed back. Many have lost weight, too. Here is a link to an interesting article about building a standing work station: http://gigaom.com/collaboration/how-i-made-a-standing-workst... and the health risks of sitting: http://www.geekosystem.com/sitting-health-dangers/
