I recently posted a gloat about a Bench Dog cast iron router table top and aluminum fence I got a real steal on. Thought I'd follow up with the resulting router table.
It's constructed of black MCP with 3/4" BB drawers and cheap Blum vinyl coated drawer slides. Everything is pocket screwed with melamine glue. The pulls are brushed nickel. I also used double locking casters. I like the rubber wheel type, as they seem to be more forgiving on an uneven floor.

Dust collection starts at a 4" port and is through the table and through the fence.

Plenty of storage for routers and related stuff. I plan to add some pull out trays above the drawers for bit storage

This peculiar drawer allows access to the router while mounted in the table. It isn't the most convenient, but pretty much all operations are performed from above the table.

I still haven't really come up with a plan for wiring and the switch. I think I'll mount an outlet on the center drawer, inside the cabinet, then pigtail all the routers that will be used in this table.
