Smoked or Clear?

Smoked: Gives Donkey Kong the right colors :)

For those looking for smoked glass - try your local glass shop. I spent about $20 on mine and they cut it exactly to size.

I'll put my vote in for smoked/tinted too.
But on a related subject, do you guys who use glass get it hardened, or just use regular plate glass? How thick?
I stay away from Plexi, it marks far too easily.
In the past I've used hardened 4mm smoked hardened glass, and on my bartops 6mm smoked regular plate glass... but haven't yet risked going for a big sheet of non-hardened glass on a full size cabinet?

Is tempered and hardened the same thing?
javeryh:
I'm pretty sure tempered and hardened are the same thing. I only use tempered glass for my cocktail cabinet otherwise there isn't much point to it unless maybe you have a trackball and play a lot of bowling/golden tee. I also stay away from plexi due to scratching easily. Plus, nothing looks better than a nice clean piece of glass - I always bust out the foamy glass cleaner before company comes over...
