I called up a local glass shop and got a quote for a piece of grey lexan for my cabinet. It is 24 7/8" X 27" grey lexan with polished edges, quarter inch thick. They quoted me $75. Since I dont have anytools ect for cutting i cant do it myself. How is this price? Should I be looking around more? Thanks |

I bought a piece about the same size & tint at a local plastic shop for about $12 -S |

You don't need the polished edges if this is just for covering the monitor. It's just wasted money. Either way, though, that sounds like a lot. |

Sorry for a dumb question, but why the smoked glass? I know others are doing it too, and I've been meaning to find out. On my first cab (built in 1998 which I sold a week ago to work on my second cab), I had regular glass cut. Not plexi, no smoked. It worked well, but was tricky to keep in place due to weight. I had to come up with a bezel (which I never got around to), so my TV was quite exposed. Maybe that is the reason for the smoked (plexi) glass??? Please enlighten me. Thanks! |

The smoked glass hides the fact that you don't have a bezel underneath (assuming you have no bezel) so you don't see everything around the inside of the machine. The image on the screen still shines through well, but nothing else does. |
