Your forearms should be horizontal while typing, and your monitor should be high enough such that when you are looking in a horizontal line, you're looking at the top of the monitor.  More about this on my Ergonomic work station.

In the images, you can see that I've clamped some wood onto the rails of the treadmill to first get the keyboard platform height right for me -- see how my forearms are approximately level and my upper arms are vertical.  Next, I'm pointing to the height where the top of my monitor should go, and my camerawoman helps measure that distance.
