Coffee Table Computer

This was an idea I came up with last winter, and forgot about because of a lack of money. Then I found this, and the idea came back.

The idea is to put a computer into a coffee table. The screen would be underneath a piece of glass, so when it's off, it looks like an ordinary coffee table, but you could turn it on and play a movie, play a game, or have a big digital picture frame.

I'm starting to sketch out the details of it. If I had no budget for this thing, it could be the sweetest thing next to the Microsoft surface, but since I am not rich by any means, this project is going to be tough to do, even if I tone everything down.

Now my idea to help fund this project is to sell it, make a little profit, and build more. Does this sound like something people would buy?
