I'll take a pic when I get my digital camera back.
I'm in an apartment, so it's makeshift. I got the apartment managers to let me wire all the rooms for cat5e, into wall plates. Then I put in a cable drop to the linen closet in the hall and mounted an 8 port rj45 plate there. I put the electrical (supplied by 2 extension cords running from seperate fused locations) drop is and run all that stuff to the bottom shelf (cable modem, switch, etc too).
Then I bought a 15" lcd, a mini keyboard, and a finger rollerball (like a little tiny trackball you wear like a ring) and put those on shelves 2 & 3 down from the top. I cut out the ceiling and put in a small box fan to draw up the heat (again, with apartment permission. I took the 4 computers I use as servers apart and screwed the mb's and such onto 1/4 inch plywood (2 on each) that fit into shelf space 1 & 4. I use one cdrw and one floppy shared from one of the servers for all four systems to minimize the clutter.
That's about it.
