I've searched was surprised to see that this thread hasn't been done yet. I know there's a "Post Your Mac Setup" thread but I think it'll be easier to have a dedicated thread for Cinema Displays only. I'm looking to buy a 27" Apple Cinema Display soon and I wanna see the setups that some people have. "Non-27" Cinema Displays are also welcome :)
 
Let me paint a picture for you.

There will be a display, sitting on top of a flat surface. It may be emitting light in the photo or maybe not.

There will be an Apple logo as well.

How is that productive? OP, I will post my setup once I get home.

Here's my old 20" Apple Cinema Displays on my 2009 Mac Mini:

And it's replacement, a 24" LED Cinema Display on the same 2009 Mac Mini:

24" cinema display

Mine is attached to 2010 mac mini and as you can see it just fit into the cabinet. I measured about 10 times and hoped that the measurements on the website were precise. I also found a neat addon for my wireless keyboard LMP Bluetooth Keypad Really cool and works great

here's a few of my Cinema Display (27')

Here's a few... front, back and above. Please overlook the pile of CDs behind the door that I'm in the midst of burning into iTunes and the dog bed under my desk. My little guy is not happy unless he's laying under there when I'm at the desk. :)

Also, the last attachment (not my pic) is called The Space Bar (http://www.quirky.com/products/22-The-Space-Bar-Desk-Organizer). I'm thinking about grabbing one for my set-up. It has 4 USB ports on the front (two on each side) and looks nice. Just going over the reviews now. My 27" ACD exceeds the weight limit by 3 pounds but other reviewers have said they haven't had a problem doing the same and worse (30 pounds for a 27" iMac). Still undecided.
