The perfect standing hacker desk (opens in new tab)

Let me ask you about those monitors!

I'm running 3x17-inch portrait monitors in the same configuration (turnable 3-monitor stand), and while I'd love more space to work with, I once tried a 22-inch monitor in the middle and the height of the thing was daunting enough that I couldn't keep the entire screen in my field of view at once. I can't imagine doing that with a 27-inch, let alone three of them. Is it something that you just have to get used to, or are you just sitting/standing really far back?

P.S.: Forgive the WoW shot; it’s the only game I had installed when I set it up. Hate that game. >,>

Also, I cannot recommend this GelPro mat highly enough. A several-thousand-dollar Anthro desk is great, and I love it; but this $US 200 standing mat really “makes the setup.” Without it, standing was an absolute pain; with it, I’ve been standing for weeks, and have absolutely no desire to ever sit down again.

Actually, I’m moving all of this into an office in the next month or so, and renting out this last room.
