I've done something similar to this. Just lay a DVD case on the board at about a 30 degree angle and trace it. Then mark where the 3 holes go on the edge of the tracing, making sure the top-back hole is low enough that a CD won't fall through and the bottom back hole is at least 1" forward of the corner. Drill your hole so that the EDGE of the hole (not the center) is on the outline of the case.
Make the holes only *slightly* larger than the rod is. If it is loose, the end boards will not want to stay upright.
I spanned 3 feet with either 3/8" or 7/16" rods (can't remember).
If you have to paint the rods, paint them with spray lacquer. It won't gum up the nuts as much as enamel will.
