I fell in love with this idea when I saw it in a health magazine earlier this year. This gives me some options for configuring a treadmill desk for myself. Thank you for sharing your information, and the fact that you have had this set-up for a while and that it works for you.AnneMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-981197397494954982.post-32349495481619715932008-07-14T08:49:00.000-06:002008-07-14T08:49:00.000-06:00That would be the ultimate solution for me.

I purchased a second video card so that I have 2 Radeon X1300/X1550 cards with DVI-59 Y outputs. All the monitors are the same aspect ratio and resolution (Dell 1907FPV and Samsung Syncmasters)<BR/><BR/>I have been using 2 simple block Y splitters each driving 2 monitors from one leg of each of the two cards. That initially worked well accept that the left monitors do not show up on a fresh boot of the system, unless I start up with only one of the left monitors connected to the card. Once I get the extended desktop working I can connect up the left Y splitter and connect both left monitors successfully. If I reboot I have to go through the whole thing again. Lately the left side pair of monitors will go black after about 10 minutes. The right side monitors seem to work well on the Y splitter, but one will start flickering and flashing off and on.<BR/><BR/>I purchased 2 amplified DVI splitters (Dylink DVISP104A) (http://www.daya-computing.com/en/product/1225.htm)<BR/>and tried using them, one per card, in place of the Y splitters. This setup boots OK, but flashes off and on continuously on both sides, all monitors.<BR/><BR/>I tried the Ultramon beta for Vista, but it does not yet support cloning monitors (mirroring).<BR/><BR/>I thought this would be simple, but it is not. Can anyone help?<BR/><BR/>Stuart StrandStuart Strandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02950187338704116677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-981197397494954982.post-63729038875713802202008-04-30T09:52:00.000-06:002008-04-30T09:52:00.000-06:00@dan You walk at about 1 MPH and burn about 100 cals/hr. I've been at it for about a month, working on my treadmill desk 2-3 days/week. I've lost 6 lbs so far.<BR/><BR/>You can wear what ever you normally wear. You will get warm, but not sweaty at that pace. Probably want walking shoes, but I think I could get by wearing my Comfortechs.Brad Rhoadshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16181029506340764324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-981197397494954982.post-45056870096636636062008-04-30T08:58:00.000-06:002008-04-30T08:58:00.000-06:00I like this idea, but are we sure that 8 hrs. a day of walking is the solution to losing weight?<BR/><BR/>I would like to see some information on how long it would take reach that level of exercise and what you would wear to the office while doing so.danhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10465358748962975736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-981197397494954982.post-65183558961906395932008-04-30T07:52:00.000-06:002008-04-30T07:52:00.000-06:00I know Shimon loves <A HREF="http://babbledog.com/thread/75526f9127024fbe857c3921a9935d68/" REL="nofollow">his treadmill desk!</A> <BR/><BR/>Heck, if the health insurance companies gave us a break on premiums, we'd make them mandatory at work :)Barlaamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08699213289075101595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-981197397494954982.post-70062213410733473192008-04-18T14:25:00.000-06:002008-04-18T14:25:00.000-06:00Does anyone know where the cheapest price is for the Sit-to-Walkstation by Steelcase? And if the price is likely to drop any time soon? I'm short and I can't imagine just propping something up on the arms of the treadmill--I can feel the damage to my neck, upper back and wrists just thinking about it. I'm also not handy enough to build something, and like the idea of being able to move it up and down if I choose to sit for awhile.Roothyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04413285905686824650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-981197397494954982.post-11185018628209388272008-03-24T13:45:00.000-06:002008-03-24T13:45:00.000-06:00I've been thinking about a treadmill desk for a little while now, but since I program for a living the keyboarding speed might be an issue. <BR/><BR/>I recently ordered an alternative keyboard that might help called the AlphaGrip, it looks like a game controller and integrates a keyboard and mouse. Their site even has a movie using the keyboard on a treadmill.<BR/>http://www.alphagrips.com/typingdemo.html<BR/><BR/>I should get my alphagrip soon and see if it is usable for programming. If it is, maybe I'll try on a treadmill.<BR/><BR/>--RobertRobert Stehwienhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18158506849512588527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-981197397494954982.post-52594131450256506712008-03-11T18:43:00.000-06:002008-03-11T18:43:00.000-06:00Just awesome.

I can feel the carpal tunnel in my wrists develop just by looking at it. I like the quotes by "Bob Greene" and "Mehmet C. Oz, M.D". about "walking" is the site trying to imply that they endorse the product?<BR/>I would write off "Anonymous'" comment as spam.JoeHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14292824138185964246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-981197397494954982.post-61367470647313679862008-02-08T00:59:00.000-07:002008-02-08T00:59:00.000-07:00You should mention the net runner on your site as well.
