Any local glass shop should be able to help you out. I live far away from big box stores like that, and my local glass shop (Auto/Residential) was able to help me out no problem.

Just make sure you give them accurate dimensions, and they should be able to cut you a piece to size.

If your in So Cal, and want to make the trip, and the final CP width is small enough, I can laser cut it for you. Acrylic laser cuts very well. I need really good measurements though.

For just 1 piece you will be wastng your money on tools you probably won't use again. . . even on renting. Ebay sellers of sheet plexi/acrylic usually also provide cut to dimension plexi, which is a good choice for someone in your situation.

How many of us started with the intention of just building one piece?  *A lot*...then 1 piece turns into a 2nd...then a 3rd.  Apartments also aren't an excuse lol...just take a look at Martijn's Street Fighter themed build to realize that everything is possible in this hobby :)

Personally, if you even think there is a small chance you'd build a 2nd get a router...its versatile and one of the best bang for the buck tools out there.

Oh and if you are completely broke...this isn't the hobby to start at this time ;)
