Quick note on using Lexan: If you plan on cutting it yourself, be careful, 
for it shards like a glass would, not melts right through like plexi would. 
(I built a 5" x 9" x 3' long "wet wind tunnel" (a wind tunnel, with water 
instead of air), and found out that plexi, when cut fast, practically melts 
itself back together, while lexan will shard off unless it is covered or 
taped. It was a fun project, too) Ok, I went off-track, but you got the 
point.
