Haven't seen a CRT monitor since the 14" days that had the plug sticking
out at the very back - they all seem to be down low and underslung now.

Bigger desk than I have, since mine's only 5 feet wide by 32 inches deep
and I managed to have a 22" crt a 17" crt a fulltower case and a
midtower case on my desk.
As well as a clock, the computer speakers, the stereo speakers hooked up
to the cd player, a phone and an inkjet printer on top of the 17"
monitor.

Oh yeah, and a small bookshelf of DVDs on top of the 22"CRT (the front
bit that has no vent holes.)
There's one thing the LCDs can't compete at. :)

There's still copious amounts of room for mouse and keyboard, books,
etc, as well as more space for a plate or such for when I eat at the
computer (usually while watching a dvd movie.)

Now admittedly there aren't huge vistas of empty space left, but you
should be able to squeeze in at least as much as me, since you've got 2
more feet of width and 10 more inches of depth.
