Look into the monitor arms that let attach to your desk and support your
monitor above the desk/computer. Many of them have a simple wire rack that
pulls out in front to hold a keyboard. (Basically, it's just a square U of
metal that slides in and out.)
There are other advantages to this as well. If you're working on several
computers that use the same type of monitor, you don't need to move the
monitor to swap CPU's. Also, it lets you use the monitor-over-CPU set up
for machines that aren't flat boxes (like a C64, atari 800 or SOL-20.) You
can also swing it out of the way if you want to work on the computer.
PS- How do you post an origional message? Do you just
send one to9

Yep.
