1 - you have to run power to it

2- they are not all that comfortable to play on, imagine sitting on the edge of your couch, hunched over your coffee table for your gaming duration

Yeah i have thought about that. also because i will be using this to run dreamcast games. both playerswould have to be situated on the same side of the table.

Just searched magazine table on ebay and found this interesting looking victim.

Whilst that link is actually almost passable you'd need almost as many skills to modify it as to build a cabinet from scratch. It would also be better suited as a classics vertical cocktail than anything else.

Donkbaca:
Agree, you would need to build additions to the table, hide the electronics, route out an area for the glass and screen, etc.

That's why a tried and true method is to buy a empty cab off of craigslist for $50. :cheers:
