I ordered glass to replace the perspex in my cabinet and it is now sitting in my garage. Its a big piece of tinted glass to cover the screen and a clear piece with heaps of holes for the button area. The piece with the buttons in it will be painted black on the back. I wanted glass for around the buttons because it is a lot shinier than perspex and feels nice and cold when you are playing.

I need to sand the holes for the joysticks a little as the joysticks have metal shafts and in some positions the shaft *just* touches the edge of the hole – this could cause chipping so needs to be fixed.
