It would be pretty thick. IMHO, 1/8 inch plexi is perfect to work with. Not to mention, cheaper.
Tonyjambo:
Thanks guys - i'm going to go 3/4" mdf and 1/8 plexi with a bevel on the bottom to take the edge down to 5/8 then cut the T-Mould slot 1/8 north of center , I think it should look pretty decent - more concerned with the Top of the CP than the bottom.
@Dawgz - i like that approach just because it means no routing out for the trackball :) is the happ trackball mount actually 1/8' by any chance or did you ahve to shim it ? it does give you a nice clean surface as well - tempting :)
Dawgz Rule:
Shimmed it with some small washers.
Dawgz Rule:
The 1/8 inch plexi was the perfect height for the lip of the trackball too.

I was able to find 5/8 mdf but it was speical order. So I have 5/8 mdf and 1/8 inch plexi, 3/4 t-molding.
