Target has wire mesh office desk supplies. My roomies and I bought some document holds, turned them upside down, and used a little bit of cardboard to support the back side (as not to wobble) and we have a perfect $4 laptop stand. The wire mesh allows for maximum airflow and doesn't scratch the bottom of the Powerbook. We each ended up buying two of them. I'm going to saw off the little bits on the side that stick up sometime, so I can ditch the cardboard wedges.
Check out the fill sized images.

Its really sad... because I have these cool mesh wire cube things for my room (make fun cubes out of lots of wire mesh squares!)... and I saw the trash can and had to have it... but see the can came with several other things... so then I bought some magazine holders to go with it... this was all a couple of months ago. Now with this matching wire mesh laptop stand (and a wire mesh box I got to hold random Powerbook things) my desk is really medal-ish. Now all I need is a matching LCD monitor to stick next to the 12in Powerbook. I was thinking of this one from ForMac. If only I had the $ after buying a new 12in!
Oh, my trash can came with a 'Dodad Holder' of which no one here can figure out what a Dodad is. I'm using it to hold the plug from my power adaptor and some other small plastic clips from my Powerbook. Go figure.

Do you have a shot showing how you used the cardboard, I don't see it in the picture.

Its rather primitive. I cut out a square of cardboard, wrapped it in duct tape till it was about the size of the gap in the back, so that it wouldn't wobble. Add some tape, check it out, add some more tape. I'm sure if you wanted to be super cool you could work out something more fancy, but I'm lazy and in college. I'm sure you could wedge anything back there.

If you want to be really creative, you can buy the liquid rubber in a can. (Home Depot, etc. used to make rubber handles on tools and dip or paint it on to protect the PBs finish! Comes in Red, Black, White, Blue and Green.
