Roughy:

I did a poor job of explaining myself--sorry...

What I mean is that behind my marquee is the light and the speakers (pretty obvious, I suspect) but beyond that, the "path" leads to right over the monitor and the light bleeds back behind the monitor and basically shows all the empty cabinet crap behind the monitor much more than I'd prefer it does since it's so well lit.

Your Happ bezel is going to cost you quite a bit more than you think.  Shipping is gonna kill you on that.

Really?  Crap that would really suck.  I plan on getting guns someday, so I will have to let you know.  I hope they work well though.

The only real problems that I see right now are...

1)  I need to close off/block off the marquee back.  The light is coming through below and kind of makes things look sloppy.

Maybe I can do some light spray paint on the back side to cloud that up a bit... ?

I routed a ~3/4 inch groove along the back edge of my speaker panel (below the marquee) and slid the top the the plexi into that groove.  Sucky explanation I know.   ::)

2)  I absolutely Fing SUCK at scoring/cutting plexiglass.  I've got a couple of uneven spots and some sort of "break" marks along the outside.

Man, I read thousands of posts on here about how to drill/cut plexi, and I must say I didn't have even the slightest issue.  I bought a flush trim router bit and just went nuts on the plexi.  It didn't even know what hit it.   ;D So maybe try that.
