Anyone know if there's a way to configure CM:BO to run in 16:10 resolution? I have this nifty 1680x1050 monitor here that wants to know... :-D

According to official Battletech site CM does not support widescreen (that post is from their forums):
The CMx1 titles, CMBO, CMBB and CMAK (the 'Afrika Korps' one) are NOT compatible with most widescreen resolutions. The games were released for both Mac and PC (different executables, of course) and it supported only a few, discrete resolutions often found on both platforms. Typically the CMx1 titles will support the following resolutions (I may not recall all of them here):
640x480 (CMBO only, 'software rendering')
800x600 (minimum for CMBB and CMAK)
832x624 (Mac-oriented resolution, usually not supported on PCs)
1024x768
1152x864
1152x870 (Mac-oriented resolution)
1280x768
1280x960
1280x1024
1600x1200
Not all resolutions will appear for each video adapter. Some of these resolutions may only appear on Mac or PCs only (and not the other platform). You usually won't see any resolutions available for selection if it is HIGHER than your current desktop resolution.
The more common widescreen resolutions seen nowadays such as 1440x900, 1680x1050, 1400x1050 and others are not explicitly supported and never will be at this point because the CMx1 family is considered a "finished product".
However you can play 16:10 fullscreen with either stretched or scaled (with black bars) image.
