An AJAX powered one like the Custom Fields.
What I created works and is AJAX. When I hit the submit button it calls
the function my_metabox, or rather the function
on_wp_ajax_my_metabox as specified in the add_action call, 
add_action('wp_ajax_my_metabox', 
   array(&$this,'on_wp_ajax_my_metabox) ) ;

That function does some output and that output is displayed without a
page refresh.

I'm just curious how the Custom Fields works and if I can use that kind
of implementation in my own metabox.

P.S.
I apologize for sending it twice, I had PGP/Inline in the previous one
and I'm not sure if everybody can open it.
