... pretty impressive output, considering the USB voltages involved...

How about one of those foamy dart missile launcher cannons? Those are really cool too.

where's the best (read: cheapest) place to get those workplace monitor rear-view mirrors?

Plasma Ball ? Coooooool !
As far as the rearview mirrors, I use an old baby-watching mirror that we had in the car, taped to the top of my monitor. Of course I look weird in it, but eh. The goal of these 'mirrors' is just to see motion and switch to productive use. Many people just hang up a CD or something like it on their cubie wall.

I got something similar years ago at Sharper Image.
How big is the USB version? Maybe I can make a bracket to hang it on the display of my PB or MB.

It's not large -- maybe 6" height, 3" diameter of the globe?
Yes, you could definitely mount it/make a bracket to hang on a display.
It occurs to me that you COULD actually make something useful out of this, like put inside an aquarium? (Making sure, of course, that the water couldn't get in...)
