I built my own for $200. Mine has a treadmill underneath it too.

from a comment on your blog post:

is treadmill programmable? You could increase the speed while your program is being compiled.

ha i like that! or connect other feedback from your programming/computer usage to your treadmill. e.g., if you're slacking off by reading HN too much, it will increase your treadmill speed until you get back to hacking

Fantastic setup!

Here's my standup desk (no treadmill). Total cost was $125 for 2 extending sawhorses from Amazon and a heavy door from Home Depot.

I love the irony--a homemade standing desk/treadmill, with an Apple Magic Mouse and Bluetooth keyboard...
