I too have the jerker. Consider getting the optional upper shelf as well, as it's great for extra books and stuff. Get at least two swingarms, as they are really nice.
I've got my laptop set outside to the left, and my monitor on the inside left. I run dual monitors off my pbook, and I just plug in off a little cableloom I built with USB/vid/audio/power and I'm running in seconds. Great desk!
First I would suggest that you just invest in some good quality clear-com wired beltpacks and a bunch of 50' XLR (mic) cables. The cable is easy to find and inexpensive, you can daisy-chain the units, and the powersupply can be located centrally. It's a very good system!
Lots of people have mentioned that Clear-Com makes a wireless unit. I have found better luck (with range and the battery time) with the HME (http://www.hme.com/) and Telex (http://www.telex.com/telexMain/) wireless units.
An added bonus is that it will interface with your existing theatre Clear-Com system! So for positions like sound, lights, and front of house who aren't moving much, they can just be using the existing system and you aren't spending money on batteries and unit maintenence. The stage manager, teacher, or general technical director can be on wireless headsets.
check with rental houses to see if they can sell you their older unit, or if they have any leads on where you can find a discounted unit. Lots of sales places will demo wireless units to prospective buyers, and sell the unit at a discounted price when the new model comes out.
