I used 1/4" plex on mine and I am having second thoughts and will probably replace it with glass.
The plex scratches super easy and gets kind of blurry. but maybe your going for that authentic beat up arcade machine look I don't know.
as for mounting the glass I picked up some glass retainers from rockler, they also have a website www.rockler.com
good luck

: I have my Cabinet built. The Monitor is installed and looks fine. I have a question though. I bought an empty cabinet and I need to get glass for the screen. What kind of glass should be used? I'm using a 19" computer monitor for the screen. I don't know whether I need tinted glass. And also whether I should use plexi or regular glass. I think I might have to use plexi because I don't know how I can mount the glass without drilling holes through it. Any help would be appreciated. This is my last step before I'm done. So I'd like to get it taken care of.
