Re: Project #2: Stardust
Sounds pretty neat. Get it CADed up. Will it be a desktop unit or tower? Once you CAD it, i'll understand it some more. The best way to round off the corners with acrylic ect, i would think is to make a compound angle. Use triple 30 degree cuts to make a right angle.

...\ __ but with a little more pitch to match the 30 degrees.
Or just make a hexagon with 60 degree cuts, or a decagon with 36 degree cuts. That way you can use it in either desktop or tower orientation.
Also, you could hide all the connections doing that, and save alot of space by putting the hard drive(s) oriented vertically (i know i know, bad for the bearings....) although you might get them to fix laying down depending on how big you make it.
