Your set-up looks like it'll turn out great! I need to get a case for my Pred. but, I'm not sure how big I want it yet. I'm not too crazy about some pics I've seen of him in a case. Some cases look too big and he looks lost in them.
I'm thinking about 35"H x 25"W x 25"D

I agreed with Turtle. 23"D is plenty. From my measurement, 23"D would give 1" each apart from the front and the back of the base.
I decided not to give it too much room as this will be the standard size for my other CM such as T800 and maybe T850, TX and Superman.

I have the Endo in a case that's 30" in height, paid $250 for the case, I wish now that I never would have gotten it 30" more like 28" would have been great. My TX is 13"W, 16"D and 27"H. reason i say that 30" is too much is cos CM's aren't small and they take up hella room. have that much head room fer the CM isn't really necessary, the acylic is clear, when i get the brains to post a pic of my stuff i will, my cubes also has beveled edges on the top, makes it look pretty cool. btw guys, if you fine a plastics distributor that will custom make these fer ya, ask em bout mirrored sides or Lucite bases/ fitted stands for the cube, mine are polished black.

Great! Thanks for the info guys!
I'm still trying to get someone local to make me case. No luck yet.  I'll wind up either making it myself or ordering online.

I was up last night putting this glass case together for my CM Predator. I will work on the case for CM T800 tonight. I plan to start the pedestal next week.

So thats how you make it!
Is that easy to do?
Is that glass? That would be so heavy!

Yup, it's 1/4" glass and is heavy. It is quite easy to build. You need to have clamps to hold it together. The curing process takes 15mins. I used an ahesive product called NANO470 to build the case. Check it out.

Wow! now THAT's impressive, he was certainly showing faith in his product!
I was wondering what you where doing with the fluorescent light in your pics! well now I know, awesome product 
How much did the glass cost btw? as i'm about ready to order a case for my pred, but i'd rather go this route if it's not too expensive.

The glass cost me $300 for Predator and T800 cases. I have had glass stores wanted to charge me $400-$500 (glass and labor) to build each case and they use silicone which I don't like. I debated over using acrylic, but I see it scratches and look dull over times. I think glass will compliment a nice dark redish cherry wood pedestal.
