I built my cabinet out of colored acrylic with polished edges. The rock'n'roll bug is a Rick Griffin cartoon that I silkscreened on the front.

Looks great man.  There is a risk of it getting noisy in some joints from poor lighting but in my experience (my OT has a plexi window) it should be fine.

How so Chris? I've never used plexi before.

A well built amp will have the chassis shielded by using a metal sheet of some sort between the chassis and cab.  Just take a look at any old Fender.  Some circuits are more prone to interference than others.

Yeah, I was told that interference from fluorescent lights etc. might be a problem. But I like seeing the guts of the amp, so I'll deal with that if it comes up. So far it hasn't.
