The Surface Tension Arcade coffee table is basically a computer in a glass box, but that dosen’t make a dent in the “I need this” factor - this is a coffee table done right. A drop down panel exposes a joystick and buttons for arcade style gameplay, and the built-in wifi enables you to stream audio right to your stereo. You can browse the internet, look at pictures, watch DVDs, and even set your beer on it. What else do you need?
