Update 19
I installed anti vibration matting down the bottom of the cabinet to protect the floor and reduce any noises and installed a discrete light to make it easier to work in

It makes it hard to get proper work done with this distracting me in the background that's for sure :)

I got it from Clarke rubber, there is a few different grades that ranged from $10 to $129 I think this one was the $50 one, it just seemed like it had the right amount of give. You could get different colors in it as well but I thought grey would hide my sins a bit better

i was thinking that when i looked at the pictures, so it was the bubble wrap? :P im sure im sure :D
looks smick!
It is a different coulor to the low iron glass in oz, which to my eyes seems a very strong blue, the Asian one like the little cube seems white and the seems like a grey tinge, it's remarkably clear but it seems to take on whatever color is around it

I found similar things, the opticlear on my new cubes a bluish colour, where as my old starfire cubes were a clear white look.
