If you want to share a mouse and keyboard with each machine having it's own monitor, check out synergy.
http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/about.html
Works with Mac, PC, and Linux.
With synergy, all the computers on your desktop form a single virtual screen. You use the mouse and keyboard of only one of the computers while you use all of the monitors on all of the computers. You tell synergy how many screens you have and their positions relative to one another. Synergy then detects when the mouse moves off the edge of a screen and jumps it instantly to the neighboring screen. The keyboard works normally on each screen; input goes to whichever screen has the cursor
Really cool if you switch between machines often. Unfortunately, when I tried it, it had some lag issues if ZoneAlarm was installed. But that wouldn't be an issue for mac users....
@Bolo: Whenever I've priced out a Shuttle build, it comes in around at least $500, especially if you want a legal copy of WinXP Pro...

If Apple were a man, I'd be straight.
Can't believe I missed that! ROFL!!
Sweeeet little package! I'm getting one of these puppies as soon as my tax refund comes in. Too bad Tiger's not out yet. It would be nice to do the whole thing at once.
