Getting geared up to start my first cab next week
willybeamish:
I had a question about the screen. What do you guys recommend for covering it plexiglass or clear plastic? Also can you make a bezel from painted wood..or would that look dumb and I should just get a custom plastic bezel made?
Also before I forget and im thinking way ahead but..after I get this thing and figure out how much work needs to be done on the exterior id like to get some graphics on it. I have a very good friend who is a graphic design veteran whos been at it for around 20 years and already said he would design me some stuff for the sides. I know he has connections in the printing biz as well. Im wondering what material should the designs be made out of??
thanks

I recommend real glass over plastic. It's cheaper and not as much of a dust magnet.

And as far as keeping it in place do you guys build a frame out of wood to hold it in?

+1 for glass.
You can use wood to hold the glass in place. I used aluminum strips instead... it's thin and looked good (IMHO).
I went to a glass/mirror shop to get my glass. They had an interesting array of very thin aluminum channel that they used for their mirrors. You might have a similar resource in your area.
