Mac Setups: Stand-up Mac Workstation
Dec 11, 2010 - 7 Comments
Here’s something you don’t see everyday: a stand up workstation featuring a MacBook Pro attached to two dual vertically orientated monitors.
[ Image is below since it’s huge ]
There are plenty of studies that show the ergonomic benefits of having a standup computer desk and workstation. I’ve always been curious how it’d feel to work on a computer while standing, I’ve even seen some standup workstations that have treadmills so people can walk while working… cool idea but I don’t know if I’m coordinated enough!
I know this workstation belongs to one of our readers, but I can’t seem to remember where I found the image. If this is your setup, feel free to claim it in the comments.

haven’t had time to set up my v2 of this yet, esp. since i’m considering moving to another country, but it’ll be awesome when i get it done.
This is awesome I always wanted a standup desk
Seriously has me thinking about raising me keyboard level
and of course – thanks for publishing!
yeah William, it’s mine. been following your mac setups feed for a while, i think its a great idea to post these.
i originally posted the picture to the Estonian biggest computer forum hinnavaatlus.ee thread called “Show off your workstations”, how did you end up stumbling on this?
after i got tired of feeling crappy in the legs after long hacking sessions, here’s the links that really fired up my experiment mode:

since this picture was taken i have done away with the white table mid-section, i’ll post an updated shot in the morning.
Unless I am mistaken, the monitor on the right is for IRC? I’d guess irsii?
yep, irssi inside tmux, with some terminal transparency so skype can shine through.
