I've been using a GeekDesk for a few years and love the thing (
http://www.geekdesk.com/). It's a great, sturdy desk with an ample work surface even without considering the adjustable height aspect. The top is thick enough that you can safely clamp things to the edges and also attach things to the bottom with screws. I've undermounted a 3M keyboard/mouse tray, a drawer, and a 60" 20 outlet Tripp Lite bench strip and at one point had three monitors attached with clamp-on monitor arms (currently down to just one huge monitor). I have my PC setup towards one side of the desk and still have ample space on the other end to spread papers out on or do other non-computer work.
Even without considering any health benefits, adjustable desks are a nice thing to have. There's something mentally refreshing about the ability to sit or stand while working whenever you feel like it. As a guitarist, I like to grab a guitar and stand while I'm reading email or documentation or whatever.
If you are standing on a hard surface, you'll probably want to buy a nice anti-fatigue gel mat to stand on.
