Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
Saw this question pop up a couple times, so when I ran across this vid I figured I'd point folks at it. It's pretty exhaustive being nearly an hour, but he goes over lots of the reasons he's doing certain things and covers the mistakes made along the way. Quite informative and useful for those wanting to make their own table, digital or not.
Its like watching nerdy "This Ol' House" Edit: Oh jeez, that wiring. Calling /r/OSHA
I managed to accidentally acquire a 27" touchscreen/linux computer from a vendor display at work (p.s. large companies are retarded, they wanted it recycled) that is actually designed to be flush mounted, and have been dying to find something to do with it. I just don't have the space to put something like this :( Although after seeing the video, I'm tempted to build it out anyway and figure out what I'm going to do with it after.
this is really great. gave me some great ideas for my "some day when I have some $$" file :)
My group ended up following the instructions with only a few minor tweaks. We used a 40" LG TV that has zero viewing angle issues. We put a thin piece of plexiglass that covers the screen but fits inside the TV bezel and it isn't noticeable at all.
I wanted to thank the OP for including instructions and the video on this site: https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/1471747/build-gaming-table-150
We skipped the cup holders and such and require drinks to be on TV stands that we have around the table just to avoid the possibility of spilling on the foam or the TV. I can take pictures tomorrow if there is any interest in seeing how our version turned out. We're not woodworkers, but we definitely learned a lot and the end result is pretty cool. We also have some ideas for table 2.0 :)
EDIT: I wanted to add that we had to purchase all of the tools except for drills, hand saw, and socket/wrench set for this project.
Tools list:
*Small air compressor and nail gun from Harbor Freight - $75 for both including the air hose, quick release nipples, and teflon tape.
Ryobi mitre saw: $179
Ryobi circular saw: $75
Black & Decker orbital sander: $40
Ryobi belt sander: $40
We also purchased a sanding block, several types of paper, etc.
