I am about 90% complete with this computer table. My plan is to finish it and then sell it. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me through my blog or email me at acercomputertable@gmail.com
I would love to hear your input, questions or if you'd like to see more pics.
Acer Computer Table

Some quick phone pics
Inside view of the Acer Aspire Revo
On the right we have a speaker and one of the fans. In the back you can see the surge protector.
In this view you can see pretty much everything including the slim DVD ROM towards the front of the table.
I purchased an HP Elite Wireless Keyboard which stands at about half an inch tall. One of the thinnest on the market.
I also had to purchase a special mouse that works on glass so I would be able to mouse on the surface. This is the Logitech Anywhere Mouse Mx. It uses "darkfield technology".
On the underside we have the right speaker and right fan.
This is the left fan. One pulls air in and the other pushes air out. The cooling is meant more for the TV as the Acer really does not produce much heat.
I installed a standard PC power cable which is hardwired to the surge protector inside. IEC C13/C14 I believe?
And this is the left speaker. These speakers came from the TV and are currently still hooked up to it.
Basic structure is comprised of 2x4's
Donor TV is an old Protron I had lying around.
I cut off the main stand supports from the TV with a hacksaw but still had to modify the 2x4 in front to make it fit.
TV removed with the floor installed and starting to attach the facade. Hard to tell in this picture but I also added blocks of 2x4 on the inside on the legs and attached the floor from the bottom. This makes it very strong structurally and allows you to pick it up from the bottom when moving it.
I cut the floor around the legs to make it appear as one box.
The finished box with all the facade.
TV back in
At this stage I have a surge protector inside the box to power the TV and computer.
Windows booting up.
This is in my house. I ordered a piece of plexi-glass for the top. In this picture I had cut out a piece of cardboard and placed it on top just to get an idea of what it would look like after I painted the plexi and installed it.
This is a picture of the painted plexi-glass installed. Note the keyboard plugged into the USB port on the left.
