That doesn't sound like a bad deal for the glass. I called 4 local glass places and didn't get the response typical to what guys got here... Nobody stocked tinted or tempered glass, and none of them wanted to be bothered with special orders for a 25x28" piece.

I have a young daughter so I wanted either glass that'd shatter into tiny pieces or plastic.
I got it from a local plastics supplier in Ivyland PA... Philly burbs, basically. They were recommended to me by a local guy that has games on location. Seemed like having it shipped would pretty much double the cost.

Thanks for all the great info guys! This is truly an incredible place.

I went ahead and bought a Best Buy Insignia tonight because it was on sale for $190.  That's $42 off the regular price. It has component in (which I intend to use).

I'm still waiting to hear about the bezel, and I'm going to go with a Last Starfighter (Starfighter) look. I'm a graphic artist, and I recreated the art in Illustrator. I probably should start a thread in the Projects forum, but I'm using mostly prefab parts, so it won't be near as cool as what most people do.

Thanks again!

Let us know how that Insignia TV works for you... I considered getting that one for my horizontal cab, which has a 19" PC monitor in it now, but has enough room for that TV.

Do a search in Project Announcements for Last Starfighter. There is at least one really nicely done Last Starfighter themed cab, and there is also a user here who recreated the game from the movie, and made it available as a free D/L.

I called Best Buy before buying and they said that it does come on automatically after power is cut. I'm going to pick it up today, so we'll see. I'll report back when I know.
