: We found out with our cage (a couple posts down) that plexiglass in large sheets starts to bow quite a bit even when held in place by tracks. This was 3/4" plexi too! That is why you see melamine supports added to ours later (they only attatch to the plexi and not the cage itself). This is just a hint to take into account in your design if you use large sheets of plexi.

thanx a lot for the advice. I will see what I can do about that. Your enclosure is amazing, I would like to live in it! LOL
