[Shop-talk] Portable work table requirements

Interesting work table.  It's a little bigger than I need for working at the
car, but some good ideas there..

All:

SO - as I'm getting cranked up to do some serious car work out in the
garage, it occurs to me that I might want a different portable work table.
Any suggestions for requirements?

I'm currently using an old TV table.  It has casters, two shelf and the top
- nothing special.  The size is around 18" x 24", and the height is probably
24" or so.

I do have an old computer table that might get thrown out if it's not
re-purposed.  It's got a bigger foot print, and has sliding drawers.  The
slides aren't anything special, but I will/would go over to Home
Depot/Lowes/Rocklers and get some drawer slides, which would make it
sturdier, as well as having a stop, so the drawer doesn't come out in my
hands.  

Current thinking:
Size:  	Approx 18" x 30"
Feet:  	Locking casters
Power: 	Outlet mounted on work table for power tools (dremel, etc)
Power: 	25' extension cord to reach wall  (cord reel?)
Drawers:	2-3 sliding drawers.  ?More  ?Fewer ?anything special to
have on hand?

Other ideas?
