Initially, I designed the table for a minimal number of relfections. Using one mirror I'd planned on having the measure roughly 36" across. After creating the mock up inner frame, I decided that while 36" would be ideal for a game table, it was simply too wide for my space.
The final design I've settled on is 26" - 27" wide and 45" long. This version uses 2 mirrors and has the projector at a jaunty angle. Currently my mirrors are acrylic rear face jobs which I plan on using a DIY method I found on-line to remove the protective coating. There is an interesting link in the comments to the article about an alternate product. I'm probably going to try both depending on what I can get my hands on tonight. Additionally, nuigroup has a post linking to lumenlab with a procedure very similar to the instructable.

In both cases the total height to projection surface is 19".
This is excluding the convertible I was considering. A table top which rotated and maintained aspect ratio through magic. Reality finally caught hold and I had to ditch the idea for its geometric reality was greater then I.
