What I plan on doing is very simple.
First, keeping it stable. To keep the countertop from moving forward, backward, left and right I'm going to have two post in the front corners so when I set the top down the posts keep it in place. To keep it from moving up, well, gravity will do that. For extra insurance I plan on putting on a few of those cabinet door clips.

For ease ot detaching cables. everything in mine is USB. Just one USB cable to PC and a $10 USB hub with mouse and keyboard hacks inside. If not just a few usb cords will come out of it. To make it cheaper I might have a universal keboard and mouse hack inside the cabinet and then use 2 25 pin cable ports to interface between the counter top and the hacks. Either way it will be really easy.
