your suggestions would be appreciated.
i don't want to make it too dark.
are there any technical expressions / descriptions that will help me not sound like a total fool when i speak to the glass man?
thanks for your time.

If you want a real nice edge "pencil polish" is what to ask for. It means a rounded, polished edge.
Don't know what to ask for when it comes to tinting...mine is clear.
Grauwulf:
I can't help you with the tint either, but make sure you get tempered glass. If it ever breaks it will shatter into nice small pieces instead of big dnagerous shards. It will cost more money, but for the added safety it's worth it in my books.
Minwah:
Many cocktails used 'smoked' glass - it has a brownish tint to it rather than the grey that tinted glass usually has.

My Space Invaders cocktail has a fairly light greyish tint, but I'm not sure what you'd ask for to order the same. I wouldn't worry about making it too dark though. My MAME cab has very dark tint and the monitor shows through it nice & crisp.
