Desk catches up with cords

[Cadaverous Pallor]

See, there you go - you can't buy 'em in stores. That's my point.

Yeah, I'm with CP. I haven't seen that kind of stuff available retail. I hate the style of the sample here ... but I look forward to more beautiful stuff with the modern sensibility of power and cord management built-in.

Well, you can always get (or build) your own nice desk, and add a Cable Safe system.

Speaking of interesting desks....

I'm seriously thinking of building myself one of these:

The Treadmill Desk

I've seen those in person! They are so cool. I would love one, but i have to admit that it would be very difficult to type while walking, though I didn't try it. I just want a desk that is on hinges and can raise if I wish to stand or lower if I wish to sit. Don't want a full time standing desk.

A full time standing desk would be a bit much. I was thinking of this as a second desk. I'd park it next to my existing desk add an A/B switch to a second monitor and use a wireless keyboard/mouse that I can move from the sitting to walking desk.

I've decided to go with the theory: "If sitting is the problem, walking is the answer".

I've selected the treadmill I want and I'm heading out to Costco tonight to pick it up. After that I'll do a trip to home depot to pick up the other materials I need to build this thing.

Wow! Cool and good for you, Moonliner. Have you tried typing while walking, though?

I've been know to walk around with a laptop typing one handed from time to time...

The reviews I have read have all said that walking & typing/mousing is not an issue, you just start the treadmill out slowly (like 0.6mph) and then work up to a faster speed as you get comfortable.
