I used one of those plastic milk-carton crates: just cut a couple of slots
halfway down the slides -- leave 4" or so uncut -- and drop in the Mac II
fan-side-down.  If your milkman won't part with one, many discount 
department stores have 'em in various sizes.  Frees up a lot of desk, and
the exhaust keeps my feet warm on cold winter nights...
