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.
