You're the second person to point out the resemblance to a
Borg cube...Maybe I should have stopped at 14 boards--which
would be closer to cubical.  ;-)

Nah.  You just need to add some more electronics on the other sides to
get the dimensions back to being a cube.  :-)

Funny you should mention that.  For a while I considered building
the sound processor on a "side board"--until I realized that it
would just put it closer to the digital noise I was trying to
escape!  The advantages of a separate box became evident when I
considered the need to adjust controls and attach outputs.
