      Hello
      I'm new here, I did not have anywhere to boast about my project, so I put it here.
      The idea came from one of the forum members on this site.

      I managed to buy the perfect table for this project for fine money.

      It was important to me that the table would not be conspicuous and would look like a traditional table. I made a minimalistic construction for mounting the monitor and components.

      I made the infinity mirror effect , with ed RGB LEDs controlled by a remote control.

      The console with joystick and buttons is attached separately, made so that there are no mounting elements visible on the table.

      The console with the buttons is connected with pull-out cables from under the table which are nicely hidden on a daily basis, in addition I made two USB ports for additional pads.

      I mounted the wheels for more horizontal movements. Every day a table looks like this:

      The lights can be turned on separately with a raspberry and serve as effective lighting on a daily basis. And after full arming we have such an effect:

            Nice effect, but I think I'll give more attention to that than the screen itself
