As Roy said, experiment!!

But on top of that the main thing is to present the results that are required, not to put as many pretty graphs on the page as possible. The Idea of a dashboard is to present lots of data in an easy to "quickly" understood format!

Creating your won is free! As I said before a dashboard is only a collection of graphs and data, used to simplify the interpretation of data!
