yes, i did mean that, thanks. plexiglass is easy to get sick of, because no 
matter how well formed and molded it is, it still looks unfinished because 
you see the crummy wiring.

in response to the message below this; i totally forgot about that. I like 
to bend plexiglass with a blowtorch, and even if i successfully do it 
without bubbles after going through three sheets, i end up cracking the 
entire thing on the second hole. I have never tried counterboring 
plexigless. On second though it sounds impossible.
Someone mentioned lack of sheilding.

Colored metal faceplates are more fun anyway. Besides, you can't etch 
plexiglass.
