Spencer (spannerspencer) has documented his build of a Raspberry Pi retro gaming table over at the Element 14 community. He used the IKEA LACK side table, hollows it out and embeds an LCD monitor, arcade controls and a Raspberry Pi 3 into the carcass of the table. The controls are hooked up to an Arduino Leonardo and the player’s commands are fed into the Pi via USB. A piece of acrylic added to the top of the table covers the LCD monitor.
