Hey Guys,
Just thought I'd share something I've been working on for a while and am close to getting finished. Pics also added to the first post.

Also, just wanted to add that if you already have a case, I will be able to make a light up base for it, so you don't have to get a whole new setup!

Very cool Station, what are these running (cost for a average 1/6 case) and what's the toggle switch like for flipping on the lights, etc...?

HMMM....looks very appealing, I have three of your awesome cases.
What would the cost be for three bases for 12x12 inches?

Thanks Guys! I haven't quite worked out the prices yet as I have a few kinks to work out yet. As of now, they are powered by a standard 12v 1a wall wart, but i'm looking into powering them by usb and having them come with a usb wall outlet. that way, you can set up multiple cases through a usb hub. I'll have more info in the coming days, just thought I'd release a little teaser lol.

Great, I like the USB setup 
Wow! I just now saw these. HT Chris Reeves would look sweet in that light up display.
Are the lights LED? I'm very particular to LED cause they last almost forever and pretty much almost has no heat so I wont have to worry about damaging the paint.
Can I make a suggestion though on having both option of USB or regular home power outlet. If I do buy one, it will be displayed in my hallway so I know I wont be able to plug that in a USB outlet. It just would be nicer of having both options.

Agreed, would be nice to have the options
I was thinking of having them run off of a usb wall adapter, sort of like what you get for your iPhone, so you could plug a usb hub into the wall and then run all the cases to the hub. That way it would be easily expandable.

Ok, well the USB idea is out lol. USB runs on 5v only and the led strips need at 12v to run. But, all is not lost, I think I'm just going to wire them to have Female DC jack ends and then you can either plug them in individually or use a splitter to run multiple cases at once. Would anyone have interest in ones that change color or would you all want just a solid color? I can get RGB strips too that you can control with a remote.

I would be mainly interested in solid colors and a remote feature would be awesome depending on cost of course.
agreed. Solid colors with remote would be nice.

I'm thinking one solid color case is going to hover around $75-$85 for an 8x8x13, which is still less than what a standard case costs anywhere else, but I still have a few numbers to run. A remote controlled one with color change will definitely cost more though.

The solid colors can't be controlled by remote, only the RGB strips. The rgb strips can, hover be set to a solid color. You have the option with them of changing between red, green, blue, white and any shade in between on the fly. I'm thinking the best I could do for solid colors is to do a dimmer switch at the jack. They don't have as much versatility.
