As many of you are aware, Microsoft has been manufacturing a PC that is the size of a table. Currently it is being used at several casinos and has multitouch capabilities. However the price tag of the Microsoft Surface is $12,000. Maximum PC did not like the idea of spending that much so they put together a table PC of their own.

Maximum PC used LEDs, a PS3 Eye camera, a projector, and acrylic to build this set-up. They also used a wood cabinet and an old PC that they had lying around. Total cost: $350. The whole project took about 2 weeks. Check out the video demo below:
