Pics of Reef Tanks Built Into Cabinetry?

[d2mini]

Or in other words, reef tanks surrounded by cabinetry, rather than on a stand-alone stand.
I'm thinking of putting my next build up against a dining room wall and surrounding the tank with "built-ins" so it all looks like one cohesive unit.
Looking for some images to get the gears turning.
I DO NOT want to put the tank into the wall itself.

Thanks!

Here is my build, the tank will be in the middle of cabinets and an entertainment center.

check out www.coastal-aquariums.com. Look at the portfolios. There are some umique built ins there. Including one built into a shower. This is my company. Feel free to ask any questions about any of the installs.

My father (a carpenter in Los Angeles) built this a few years ago:

It is actually a "build-around".

^ Beautiful craftsmanship... even with the grainy cell phone pic. =)

This is a peninsula, but it is nicely trimmed:

And this one is in-wall, but the ideas and craftsmanship I like:
