Smart Desks 2 monitor flip desk thingy ('http://www.smartdesks.com/2fi-dual-monitor-computer-desks.asp')
It's probably great for a student or someone who really doesn't want people to know he's a geek. =P

Way to small. Does not look like there is alot of room to move the mouse around. Looks alright tho, but I cannot see anyone wanting that.

I agree.. it's too small. Compare that to my corner desk, that fits 2x 24" displays and 2x 22" displays with plenty of room for a mouse, keyboard, and n52 all on the desktop. There's even an option to mount a keyboard tray underneath:

My desk is 48"x48".. but fits in a very small area since it makes efficient use of a corner.

Also, looking down at the monitor is going to leave a crank on your neck after a long period of time. You should be looking straight at the monitor, not at an angle.
While it's a nice idea, I have to agree with Kllrwlf.
That desk would probably be fine for say an hour or two's use every couple of days,
any more than that and I'd end up looking like Quasimodo without the dodgy eye.

I guess everyone missed "Space saving". I thought of this solution for those who have very cramped quarters or need to use their desktop for another thing and don't have the space for monitors.
And looking slightly down is actually just fine. How do you think people who read all day do it? Your neck isn't going to fall off because you're viewing 45 degree angles instead of 90 degree.
If you multibox 24/7 then maybe, sure, but then again, you need a head check.
