I’ve mentioned my new walkstation several times, and here it is, right in my messy office.
We attached an old 17 inch monitor to the treadmill. With a dual-monitor video card and wireless keyboard and mouse, it’s easy to switch between the workstation and the walkstation. A painted plywood box serves as a desk with a place to stash a notepad and pen, and raises the keyboard and mouse to the right height. It took a little practice, but I can now type accurately at up to 2mph – although I usually walk at 1.5mph, a comfortable stroll – and have been walking about 5 miles per day. As an added bonus, the walkstation is where the TV used to be.
You can see more photos of the setup here. I’m quite satisfied with my budget model compared to the $6500 version. There’s a small cloud of smug in here, but it’s not too thick and it’s rapidly dissipating. 
17 inch monitor – $150
Wireless keyboard and mouse – $50
Dual monitor video card – $40

Updated – oddly enough, Instapundit just posted on this topic today and linked to this nify site with more info.
Nice setup. But, tell me how you walk on a treadmill and compute at the same time?
Brilliant.
They should offer these at office jobs as a perk to attract employees.
Barb, I’m not going fast at all – just a stroll. It took a bit of getting used to, and at first I could only type at slower speeds. I started at .7mph and gradually ramped up to 1.5 – 2 mph. I can’t walk and edit graphics too well yet, though.
Drew – I know, I’m *really* digging this. I wish I’d seen it in 2006 when they first came out. And as a perk it would be a win-win; employees with better health means lower insurance premiums and fewer sick days.
