Hey Drew, it is because I wanted to have a plexi top. I have really been trying to have a clean slick finish to this and the plexi has always been a part of the plan. I bought and actually read the book and refer back to it often , and no offence to anyone who has built the project arcade, it is not at all what I wanted. (However the book is a must have. Rumor is that it will sell like beanie babies in about a month or so.

). I wanted a laid back vert monitor in a NON pac or galiga style. So after measuring my QIX, I bastardized it as I saw fit. I am having fun making a 100% mod in progress (no firm set or drawn plans. just scribbles here and there). So it is not a mater of not being able to measure or make new measurments, (heck most of my measurments are beyond comprehension up till the point of the nice new saw board

) I just really wanted to have a final plexi that used 3/4 in t-molding (dark blue). I do not want to use partical board. I used it on my last CP and it is no fun to work with. MDF is beautiful to work with. With router in hand it is nearly like sculpting. I am trying to have no sharp edges on
my cab. Though a struggle, as I have never done any "real" wood working, I think (<-- relitive term) I am doing a pretty good job.
Keep in mind if you try to shave down a 3/4 mdf board,the dust produced is supposed to be nasty,make sure you use a mask.
yeah it has been nasty all along, but no regrets so far. I do all the cutting and routing outside. Then I use my echo leaf blower and send a huge cloud down the street.
