[ale] Plexiglass cases?

[Greg Freemyer]

We've got a few lab machines we did that way.  (I did not do the work.)

We bought standard cases and then cut out new sides / top / front
panel out of clear plexiglass.  All of our plexiglass panels are flat,
so if there was no way to attach it, we drilled and tapped holes in
the metal base case and clearance holes for the screws in the
plexiglass.

We also drilled holes in the plexiglass for airflow.

I don't remember any real issues, except that when you do need to take
off the covers, it is a lot screws.  ie. Many more than just having
the original metal cover.
