my neck is beginning to kill from sitting at a desk.
i used to work in shops throughout my studying, and i'd stand for 9 hours and feel fine, sure my feet hurt occasionally. I think these are still a wise choice -

important thing being that your knees are lower than you hips - this encourages an arched and supported lower back. These also do a similar job -
a lecturer friend of mine has one instead of an office chair, they say its helped them sit much better and works really well.

I worked in a place that had desks you could adjust from normal sitting height to standing height, by way of a switch on the edge of the desk; I have to say, sometimes I'd jack it all the way up and stand for half an hour or so, and it really does help.

nah.. nothing pneumatic.. it's waaaay to expensive for what I need..
I already spent a lot of money for desks and setup I have now so I just wanted to see what I could do to make it usable but as cheap as possible..so I ended up with a solution that is ideal..
everything cost me $100 and if I get tired.. I'll just take out all the table extensions and lower everything down to the sitting level.. but I don't think I will..
Here's how it ended up..
Not as nice as it would have been with Ikea or GeekDesk or whatever but I also wouldn't have flexibility I have now. I use the middle level to have NAS devices, routers and other shit and just keep the working area monitors and keyboard/mouse and so on.
It worked out great for me.

I'm going to have a standing workstation when I get into my new hosue. I've been dying to have a standing setup for some time now. Can't wait until I get to put it into practice.

I've been standing a bit over the past few days. I'm at a counter, and I've got a tall chair.
What's the ideal situation? Should I try to get my monitor up at eye level? That seems pretty high. Or maybe just below eye level, angled up at me?

I had a standing workstation at Amazon and the trick is to have a stool. While it's preferable to have a standing desk fatigue sets in and you need a stool. It's more about mobility than standing or sitting.

Have been having some back issues...posture related so looking at maybe getting a drafting desk or something similar. Something so I can stand 30-40% of the time and sit on a tall swivel chair the rest.
Any current desks recommended?

If I remember correctly the top of your screen should be at eye level. The keyboard should be just below elbow height to avoid carpal tunnel syndrome and your feet should be flat regardless of whether you are sitting or standing.

Why stand when you can walk? It's awesome!

standing for hours = spider veins

drgs, I'd mix it up. I'd get a good swivel chair and just alternate. My back is getting completely buggered from sitting so much.

Mice and keyboards are way too high, you're just moving the strain from the lumber of your back to the upper back.
