I just picked up some at Lowes a couple days ago. They're actually used as edge protectors and I found them in the wallpaper department. The only downside is that they're transparent, but I successfully spraypainted mine black. They're a lot cheaper than what's online and they come in different sizes. I bought one 4' in length for about $2.50.

I have used the plastic transparent stuff in the past, but I later switched over to using aluminum edge trim (painted black) as it is much more sturdy.
Acceptance of Zen philosophy is marred slightly by the nagging thought that if all things are interconnected, then all things must be in some way involved with Pauly Shore.

I also went with the aluminum edge trimming--alot cheaper than standard retainer when you factor in the fact that you can just go to the store and buy an 8' length for $6.00
its better to not post and be thought a fool, then to whip out your keyboard and remove all doubt...

I picked up some aluminum angle pieces from Home Depot. I have to shape the bottom piece because the speaker panel has a 45 degree angle to deal with. I'll get some pictures up on my site soon...
Thanks,
