I want to find a really clean (aesthetic) housing for my senior
design project.
Any sites that are manufacturers of special plastics, or housings
beyond the standard black box?
Help is definitely appreciated.

and the like. Mostly the KEU-10LP model suits most of my needs. It
has a dead flat sunken rectangle on the front face that is great for
labeling it. I keep a supply of 8 1/2 by 11 lable sheets around (1
big label per page). The label paper can be printed off a computer
then applied to the box for a very professional look in little time.
I'll drop my companies logo on it and it looks like a million!
The same trick also works well with their desktop series (DM and the
like). You may have to thin down the end plate to get it back.
Two other hints are always place a blank label under your printed
one. It makes the white background whiter. And cover it in clear
contact paper.
The only real trick is getting the printed lable down in one go (no
re-positioning!). The other two can be left oversized and cut in
place (VERY easy to do on the model above as the sunken rectangle
means you have an edge to bank a razor bland off of).

I may be able to help you out.

One option is the metal boxes that are used for computer cable switching.
If you paint them and can re-use the holes they make for really cheep and
heavy duty boxes. Here is a link to some pics of one I used. Probably not
as pretty as you want - but it might give you some ideas.

I use boxes from Lansing Instruments. They are Extrudes Aluminum base and
really look nice, and are cheap.
