It would be pretty thick.  IMHO, 1/8 inch plexi is perfect to work with.  Not to mention, cheaper.

Tonyjambo:

Thanks guys - i'm going to go 3/4" mdf and 1/8 plexi with a bevel on the bottom to take the edge down to 5/8 then cut the T-Mould slot 1/8 north of center , I think it should look pretty decent - more concerned with the Top of the CP than the bottom. 

@Dawgz - i like that approach just because it means no routing out for the trackball :)  is the happ trackball mount actually 1/8' by any chance or did you ahve to shim it ?  it does give you a nice clean surface as well - tempting :)
 

Dawgz Rule:

Shimmed it with some small washers.

Dawgz Rule:

The 1/8 inch plexi was the perfect height for the lip of the trackball too.

I was able to find 5/8 mdf but it was speical order. So I have 5/8 mdf and 1/8 inch plexi, 3/4 t-molding.
