I posted my set up a while back, but I've moved since then, added new additions and done some modding...

depends on the tools you have to hand.
I had a drill, a chisel, scalpel, ruler, pen, glue and sand paper lol. (and of course the ipod dock connector's and the sync cables)
took about an hour and a quarter not including glue drying time.
there are close ups on my flickr page, I still need to cut an outline have them lay flush with the desk.

That second screen is awful, though
lol, tell me about it, it's actually the first TFT I ever owned, got it with a PC about 2 years ago,
I have a new one arriving around the 24th, then that one is going into the attic.

Pretty cool. Can I ask how you modified the image so that text appears when you mouse over certain objects?

That would be liquid gel disinfectant
Yer now come to think of it the setup does look like its sliding off the table, but i can assure you its not hehe

Setup Update
Alright, so I decided to update my setup since I cleared out my table more and got a new LCD for my computer(s).
OLD SETUP
The screen was nice, but I wanted something widescreen that was like a 20in Apple LCD, but not worth 700+ dollars. So i got the next best thing, I went to Best Buy and got me a widescreen 19in. LCD instead. It was only 300 dollars and didn't have to pay that extra 400 dollars for the extra inch from Apple.
NEW SETUP
(Apple USB Keyboard and Mighty Mouse are connected to 1 USB hub which I switch from PC to Mac).
Aside from this, I use the Apple Keyboard and the Mighty Mouse as my main input devices instead of using 2 different ones. This way I have less clutter and all i have to do was change 1 USB port from computer to computer. I could have gone with the Bluetooth mouse and keyboard from apple since my PC also has bluetooth, but I figured that this was better since I like to play fast paced games on my PC and Bluetooth equipment might give me lag.
Oh yeah, I still use the iHome as my speakers, the remote for it is right next to the keyboard.

It's cool because when you're using one of the USB slots, it flashes blue, if not, it just remains a nice lit blue.
