Can you use plexiglass for a bezel?

tommy:
If your going to use plexi dont leave you cab near any windows, the plastic will get cloudy over time from the sun , ive seen it time and time again installing plexi in windows for houses. Where i come from i charge more for plexi then the same size in glass, glass is a better choice and at some point your going to have to replace the plexi, the glass not really.

Veinman:
Wouldn't Lexan be the best of both worlds?

Good advice. Arcade machines are supposed to be in dimly lit environments anyway. My wife calls my game room "the cave" because it's always so dark in there. :)

Thanks for the input guys...i just called Lowe's and actually, it's cheaper to buy glass than the plexi....i had no idea, i thought plexi would be way cheaper.  So i'm going with glass.  Thanks again guys.

Chris:
Make sure you're getting tempered glass!
