Used Dave smith instruments MEK - $900 shipped 
after looking at that image again.. here is a possibly clearer to understand version of the stand..
I'm tempted to see if i can get one done myself.. not sure about what to use as the spring though.. shock absorbers might be too stiff.. and also , it will be a pig to move as that stand is going to be HEAVY++++

Yep, seems about right, however, I'd be willing to bet that the stand doesn't have a counter-weight built into it, but rather, it's probably mounted right into the stage floor, or, as I recall, the keyboardist was on a platform, perhaps it was mounted to the platform it's self... NIN could arrange for such a thing.
However, I also know that the keyboardist of Gravity Kills gigs with a VERY similar stand, and holding a DX9 I believe (one of the really really big ones), and it was in a small, shitty venue, so they obviously had a self-contained stand... so it IS possible.
Probably expensive to have made though.
I'm sure you could use a Monitor-stand suitable, but the cool thing about the ones GK and NIN use, those things will literally support the players weight... easily. Not that it's recommended, as the GK player broke his finger getting it caught in the stand.. not good stuff... Still fun to think about though! But, I agree... certainly not as fun as sex... I mean, maybe if it's really bad sex... with a mule... but... sort of that...
