    Has anyone tried using a stand-up desk? I was thinking of investing in a mechanical desk, both for work and gaming. Any thoughts?

    From what I heard, the first few days are pure hell. Then it's so much better, especially for your health. And lets be honest, many of us have jobs that require us to sit at a desk all day, and we come home to sit in front of the computer for the rest of the day. Going to the gym or going for a run is helpful, but it's really a lifestyle that is the problem.

    I'm aware of the health risks of sitting down most of the day (even if you're a hardcore gym guy like me), and the thought has crossed my mind. It would be like going to the arcades. Let me know how it goes, if you end up doing it.
