I've built a few websites with dynamic tables, but I try to stay away from that because of the broad range of resolutions that are now on the market. It's getting pretty common to see 22" wide screen monitors running at 1600x1050, but on the flip side, smaller notebooks like the MacBook have a 13" screen running 1280x800.
I usually keep to a static table width of 900px that way you know it will work with 99.999% of the users and you know exactly how it's displaying on their monitors.
For reference, Nascar.com is 1000px, Yahoo is 950px, USAToday.com is 940px, etc.
