I think treyonics centurion is the controller with the plexi bottom, but I cant' find a pic.

If I had any talent the next cabinet I'd do is the clear one. I figure the $1000 material cost would be worth it if I could keep the other costs down, especially when you consider buying a prebuilt cabinet will run from $3,000 - $5,500.

Measure three times, pray twice, cut once, scream continuously.

I looked at the link provided by rdagger, and sheets of 1/4" lexan go for only about $1.25 per square foot! So you could get three sheets for 4x8, about 96 square feet, for only $120.

Thicker sheets were more expensive, I think 5/8" went for $5 something a sqare foot. I don't know how you would cut that bad boy, however. And you'd have to find a local supplier.
