The Ergotron LX (or HX, if you have a silly big screen) are pretty damned good. And come in white or black. I bought from Insight.com, who provided pretty good customer service too.

We paid ~£250 for our Flexispot EC1 with a 140x70cm worktop. It's not silent but it goes from my sit to stand height in about 15 seconds and isn't that noisy, it's trivial to hit mute for 15 seconds whilst it's lifting.
The manual Flexispot desk is probably near silent but you won't be hand cranking 40kg of desk/legs, desktop, monitor(s), monitor arm(s), laptop, keyboard, lights/etc up by 30cm by hand in a few seconds.
I'm starting a process of kitting out a small box bedroom as an office space and figure I should document some of it.
I'm spending about £3k in total for full shelving system, cupboards, sit-stand desk, new mounts for monitor|camera|lights|mic, lighting, and the painting and DIY needed.
So far... sold the bikes I didn't use that were in the room, and this is how this work is being funded too. 4 bikes sold, and the budget is pretty much the value of the bikes sold so this isn't touching savings or disposable income... just needed me to be honest about which bikes I was not using (a Brompton, a mountain bike, a track bike, and a smaller audax bike).
The shopping list is roughly:
Goals are a fully sit stand environment with a clear desk. The sit-stand should be able to be executed in seconds, and silently. The shelving will create a backdrop and enable me to move books from my front room as I need that space for other things.
As I buy the things, do the work, and set it up I'll document major milestones here.
