I had been looking at McMaster-Car (http://www.mcmaster.com/) for some smoked polycarbonate sheets.. they're selling 24"x24" 1/8" thick smoked (translucent gray) polycarb for $18.27 (I haven't tried to see how much shipping will be though, so that might be bad)..
 you're dimentsions are just a bit too large it looks like  :(  and i doubt' you'd want to buy a 48"x 48"

Hey Minwah, I just went your site to check out the grey glass. I am also looking at grey. Which one has it?

Edit: Sorry I hit post too fast. Is it the system one cab? I can see the bezel, so is it very light grey?

Sinner:

OK, so I called a couple of places...it's all around $50 for tempered...
$20-$26 for regular glass...
I was thinking, if I can get the regular glass, and add that protective film they have for your home widows, that would protect the player, in the event that the glass broke...

Would it work?

 

Xam:

(regarding regular glass with a protective sheet)It may help keep the shards from flying as bad...but I would go with tempered. The added safety would be worth it.
Should it break, the small tempered pieces would also be less likely to do serious damage to your monitor or other innards.
If kids will be present then there is no option but tempered in my opinion (unless you go plexi)

If you are going to have anybody playing Golden Tee, do not use normal glass.

Cheers.
