Plexi or flush mount?
What do you think would look better for an amp rack that will be painted? Plexi cover or open flush mount? I'm not worried about the extra work involved with the installation of fans if I go the plexi route. Thanks!

i say if you're going to go plexi, have it lazer etched (or try it yourself with a dremel) and then side light it with some leds. If you don't want to get that flashy then would vote for simple and clean flush mount.

Sweet! I just may give it a shot. I love doing new things like that. If it comes out well people think you are a genius.

2 colors? Are you saying etch the plexi and put different lights on each side?
