And this as an accessory:

If I had the money and space I would have one of these in the mail already.

Am I the only one who nerdgasm-ed at the Locus?

http://www.geekchichq.com/furniture/locus/

32 touch points? That's three people with all ten fingers on the table (or, more realistically, your entire gaming group touching the thing at once); AND it can network, so friends from a galaxy far-far-away can play with you!

Man... I wonder what kindeys go for on the black market... or lungs, I have two of those. You need your liver, right?

Heh.  I'd keep the kidneys.  you might need them as if I was playing at the table I'd have to remind myself to use the bathroom on a semi regular basis. 

I'd keep the liver too as I've been known to have a drink or two while playing.

I was mostly referring to the $8,500+ upgrade fees for a table like that.

Sadly, my google search reveals that kidneys usually go for $3,000-$5,000 depending on a variety of factors. I'm serious: http://www.google.com/search?q=price+of+kidney+on+black+market&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en

Holy crap, lungs are worth a ton!!!

In any case, I won't be getting a table like this soon.

A vid-man can dream, though.

Yeah the Locus looks awesome, but being a geek/nerd I prefer to have electronic devices/appliances not installed into furniture... or at least in such a way that it's replaceable/upgradable.  The technology level in most industries is growing rapidly if not exponentially these days.  I a couple of years that TV (which is basically what it is with a touch-screen overlay) will probably have issues or otherwise needing to be replaced. 

I'd much prefer an "Interactive Whiteboard" in my nerd dungeon.  Or even just a big TV I can hook a computer up to.  Easier to do, replaceable, and cheaper.

That being said, I really dig the tables with the recessed playing areas.  When you're done or it's late, just place the top cover on the table again and continue next time.  I also really like the multi-layered game vault system.  You can place a map under a grid overlay, then the acrylic layer, then draw on it with whiteboard markers.  So convenient when sketching out quick layouts!  Players could even put small notes like ammo counters on it or something.

Hunny actually came over to look at the nerd furniture, he spasmed at the price, but I'm pretty sure he salivated a bit
