    I've seen it at www.usplastics.com, but is there a place to get it even cheaper? I mean nearing $10 a square foot for 1/4" stuff is just stupid.

    Ahem, check your local phone book for plastics shops. 99% of them sell their scrap for mere dollars per pound and should have a wide enough variety of off-cuts to keep you happy. I buy polycarbonate from my local plastics shop for $1 per pound (roughly $2 per square foot).
