speaking of acrylic/plexiglass, though plex may technically be 
acrylic, there is another type of acrylic (but not lexan) that's much 
tougher and durable (and less likely to crack when drilling) but i 
don't know the proper name for it.  when i was a wee lad in the 
70's i had a ludwig vistalite drum kit that was blue see-through 
and was made of some kind of acrylic that withstood batterings 
even of a 6 year old.  very durable!  still in great shape today.  
wish i knew what the material was called, other than 'vistalite'. 
also, if i were making a see-though case i would seriously 
consider florian's suggestion of using something tougher than 
plexiglass. 
btw, for me, aluminum + stainless steel = beautiful.
