Ideally I'd like something like this:
but might end up going with a traditional flat file simply due to the price differential. Here's the one I saw posted:

Also, Sigma, did you want to see pics of the flat file, or pics of the Drake Bebop? If it's the latter, I'll take some after work today to post up here.
Flat file. And that is DEFINITELY not worth 750.
That is exactly the idea I was looking at doing, but finding tempered glass that is big enough to cover it like that glass is tricky. They are likely not using tempered glass, so max that is worth is maybe 350.
Lots of flat files have removable tops, so putting a sheet of glass like that over it is quite simple.
My plan for my flat file... SOME DAY is to cut a receded window slot into a piece of MDF that I will have placed (and slotted so that it rests sturdily) on top of my flat file. I will also paint my flat file, cuz it's an ugly grey right now.
