Really cool guide and I'm really tempted to give it a go and make one the only real expensive part is the projector which is the only thing really putting me off atm. Anyone else recon they will give it a go?

i dont think personally it would be worth the expense

looks good, but as wih other custom made furnature computer case mod project things publiclly available, chances are that markups for profit and such would be astronomical and there would probs be a LOT of work needed before anyone would feel comfortable paying for a garage-built job, that is to say if they're paying lots of money, they want it to look spankin, which means you have to take into account every house having a different style and as such, lots of different types of tables and such for it to go into :D more work than anticipated.

either way it would be wicked, i loved the demo of things like warcraft3 on a touch table :)
