Not bad... Make sure those CRT's have room to breath, my current 17" gets reasonably toasty on top after a few hours of use. Also, cable management is always a good thing when it comes to desks, as I find now I'm snowed under with cables on my desk.
If you want to see some really wacky multi-monitor setups, check this
gallery. It is my aim in life to have more monitors than I have applications running ;D

I agree you should look into placing cooling fans in each monitor enclosure. You could run them off a power supply from one of your computers. Jus make sure you get good air flow thru each box.

Only criticism I have is that a 17" CRT is too small.

Also its wise to note that the keybord and mouse will probably be the most used unput devices on your PC as thay are used for all most every thing. I would never have spent

On the wireless keybord and mouse ..........
I wasn't talking about a wireless one... I was saying a USB one..... or anything thru a KVM switch...... but that wireless idea might be another option.
best,

hmm, i think the monitors should be larger and of equal size. a 19" monitor like mine is a nice size... and i would only ever dream of dual screening with an equally large monitor (i hate it when things look out of odds like that)
the rest does look nice though.... sure it will need 2 towers?
