I just got the marquee retainer from the Playdium store. It was 7, cut easily with my mitre saw, and looks awesome. The reason I went this way was because my marquee isn't based around 90 degree angles and I couldn't get anything to look right. But this solves that issue by being round.

I got that retainer from Happ and didn't like the look of it at all.  I wound up going Aluminum angle.  My cabinet also had weird angles but you can easily bend the aluminum angle with patience and some wood blocks for a vise and an adjustable wrench with painters tape on it.

They are fairly cheap and it states that they come up to 96 inches in length.

This is precisely (well, close--mine was originally clear) what I used in my cab, and it worked out great.  Snip to size, drill screw holes, paint.  Done, and for next-to-nothing in cost.

eds1275 that might be exactly what I am looking for.  My build isnt based on 90 degree angles either.  I may have to get my friend to pick this up for me this weekend when hes in Toronto.  Cant believe i didn't see that either.  I got my coin door from them and i swear i scoured their site  :cheers:

I used that for my first cabinet because the angle wasn't 90 degrees and this bends easy enough.  I kept it clear.  To bend it, place it on the ground with the corner pointing up and use a 2x4 or something to put even pressure along the length while you press down.  Unless you need an acute angle.  Then ignore my advice.
