We got a bunch of the Multitable bases [1] and screwed on the large size GALANT table top from Ikea (we recycled our GALANT tables into adjustable standing tables) It was pretty cost effective and they work really well. No need to bug Ikea.

I have the Fredrik, it's a great desk. I combined it with a nice adjustable mesh bar stool to regularly go from sitting to standing. I also have a thinkpad style keyboard, and therefore no mouse, so it's extremely minimalist.

I just need a no moving parts VESA mountable computer to put behind the monitor with a 3G dongle for connectivity to tick all the boxes.

I love my JERKER (the predecessor) so much, with its multiple attachments. Had to get it off Kijiji.

I have one I'm not using anymore, so I wouldn't mind selling to a follow dev with a good home.

the Jerker is legit. I hadn't seen it before. It's a shame these are both hard to find. As affordable as they are, I'm sure IKEA's margins are still really wide on products like this.
