if you're using the chrome stuff then you dont have a choice. but to accept the overhang. So i guess you have to choose between chrome with overhang or a solid colour which can be trimmed.
If they have video game arcades in Belgium then i suggest you go to one and have a look at a real arcade machine. You will be supprised at what you see: overhang.

Ive attached a pic of an x-arcade controller. look closely at the edge. it has OVERHANG!!!


XNIF:

When you use 18mm MDF and use HPL on the side (0.9mm) the overhang is next to nothing.
You can buy your chrome t-molding in the UK http://www.gremlinsolutions.co.uk/t-molding.php  but you still need a slot cutter with US size.

What he said, but without knowing any technical acronyms  ;D  If you cover the sides with a laminate or something, you will virtually have 3/4" thick sides, just like you want  :)

Yes, HPL can be bought here if you are in belgium: http://www.klushandel.nl/product_info.php?products_id=39674
Can do it in any colour, nice if you do not have a poster to glue on it :)
