I'm hoping Ian will post some more photos and details so folks can build their own too.

Wow nice work! Really nice work. Is the top made of glass or Lexan? How did you have it cut?

I have made a table arcade machine, with a fully custom game called xplosion. The idea thatit was unimposing and it actually works as a pub table.
I'll be posting it on makezine as soon as I have documented the production process.
I did it as part of a games module at university, under a "viable company" named fobo, and we called the table Socious
