LCD Monitor Arm Setup Suggestions at DVinfo.net

From a Cubase.net thread I posted. I'd like to know your opinions on monitor arms, thanks in advance:

I'm looking at a monitor arm setup. I like the Ergotron Mobile workstand: http://www.ergotron.com/Portals/0/li...ish/05-015.pdf but I may go with a Workrite or LCD arms and monitor arms - ergonomic mounts and stands for LCD, CRT and Plasma screens from Innovative Office Products arm if I get this Wacom (Cintiq 21UX) because it looks like the Ergotron LX is too light for that screen size, plus with the pressure you'll be putting on it. Not sure if those other manufacturers will mount on that stand though.

Basically I do work from one of those rockers you put on the floor. Maybe in the future I'll upgrade to a better chair, maybe a gravity chair. The Gravitonus looks sweet, but it's too expensive and looks like it might be difficult to customize.

**Anyone know where I can get some longer drum tubing for cheap? Used is fine.**

Ok, Workstation 1.0 info:

The initial stage of my workstation design. (My room is a mess!) I need longer tubing for the drum rack so I can switch the configuration to be in front of me instead of off to the side...but it will work for now.

Also in the works: the case is going in the closet and a second monitor will be added. In the future I may decide to get rid of the airdesk and add a proper keyboard shelf to the drum rack. Also may put a MIDI keyboard and studio monitors on the rack and perhaps the 3rd monitor on a separate arm (Wacom Cintiq or Core i7 Tablet lappy for touchscreen operation?)

(Notice that BIG MONEY on the shelf. Actually it's a loose George I still have yet to enter into the tracking database: Where's George? ® 2.2 )
