Maximum PC didn't like the idea of paying $12,000 for a Microsoft Surface. So what did they do? They made their own multitouch table PC for a fraction of the price.
Utilizing an array of infrared LEDs around the table, the guts of a PS3 Eye camera, a projector and some acrylic for the multitouch setup—along with a homemade wood cabinet and an old PC they had lying around (Core 2 Duo, 2 gigabytes RAM)—they fashioned together a multitouch beast for $350 that more or less mimics the surface experience.

They give instructions on how to do it, as well as show a tech demo.

Impressive, if I had copious amounts of Time. I'd do this.

Definitely my second summer project now, right next to manually fixing this stupid 360 that's out of warranty.

Neat show piece. Not sure it would be incredibly useful for the average joe.
