This is probably not a novel setup, but I mounted my T2 on a monitor
stand that swivels on a swing arm that is attached firmly to my desk
top.  This rig allows me to swing the steering unit toward me when racing
and away to the side when doing such other mundane stuff like flight
sims.  :-)  It allows me to position the wheel in a comfortable position
further away from the monitor and at a comfortable distance from the
pedal unit, which is mounted on a custom built stand that also
accomodates a set of Thrustmaster rudder pedals.  At first, my concern
was that steering and shifting would result in a moving wheel unit, but
the unit is pretty much stable in the driving position.  I can attest
that the setup is pretty cheap, the cost of the monitor stand (about $30).
