Finally got around to buying one.  I chose the Tradewinds SOHO workstation:

Finding a better price is left as an exercise for the reader (I bought
mine at a brick-and-mortar store after trying out various stuff).

In the original thread, Rich was asking about chairs.  Interestingly,
I found a chair I liked too, but I couldn't justify spending the money
on it:

It looks completely bizarre, but it's very comfortable.  It really
keeps your spine straight and your feet comfortably planted--and, yes,
it is much like riding posture.
