I bought an Asus EEE Box PC. The thing is TINY (compared to desktop PC's). Thus, I ended up just Velcro'ing the PC to the bottom of the table. I then plugged the monitor/speakers/etc into that. (keyboard and mouse are wireless).
The only cable that I have running across the floor is power.
the EEE box PC has Wifi built-in so that I just use that to connect to my network.
One thing to note.. I bought the PC 2-3 years ago. There is probably some other product out there these days that is just as light, with small footprint, .. that could easily be attached to bottom of the table. Heck.. if you "want" to use full-size PC .. you could even go as far as to pull the motherboard/HDD/power suppy/etc out of the case, and attach them to the under-side of the table individually.. (would get great ventilation .. ahah)
Also, I've been thinking lately about using some of the newer Tablet-type devices in the Poker setup. I haven't even checked with Corey to see if he's thinking about doing anything on Android... would make for a great system to just have an android tablet with the tourney running on it. (HINT, HINT, HINT @Corey)
Of course, the Tablet idea would tend to reduce the need to have the monitor "IN" the table, since I wouldn't want it to have ONLY that job. (would be quite an expensive device just for running tourneys).
