Lexan makes more sense for a control panel than for a monitor shield. Unless you plan on having some ape punching your machine, you might as well get the glass. It doesn't scratch like synthetics, it doesn't dull, and it's cheaper. I had plexi on mine, though, and it's a good thing I did. A BIG friend of mine got mad at the game and punched the screen. He shook the whole machine. Yeah I nearly bum rushed him until it occured to me that he was twice my weight. Still, he didn't play anymore after that. Ah, the joys of having a machine that lives in a frat house... |

I actually looked into purchasing it from home depot, menards(another home store) but came up short at both places. Only menards had it in stock only it was 1/8", and for a small piece was $36 WTF? Then at Home depot i would have to special order the .25 inch for around $100. Thats insane. I did look under plastic in the phone book but nothing jumped out at me that they would offer such a thing. I guess im going to start doing a bunch of cold calling of plastic shops to find someone that can get me some. Didnt think this would be this tough. |

Try www.professionalplastics.com. You can get a sheet cut to the dimensions you need. .125" thick is ~ $22 .187" thick is ~ $29 .250" thick is ~ $39 you can probably find it cheaper if you look around but I just did a quick google search. |
