    Right,

    What im trying to do is get my watercooling setup to look f**king awesome by having the tubing and some LED strip lighting to pulse. Like a heartbeat. I know that i need to get some kind of controller box or something to plug in the led strips and some UV cathodes. But what the hell do i get????

    I cant figure it out.

    I can find souns activated stuff, but nothing that i can program to pulse like a heartbeat.....any ideas?

    Ok, by FAR the easiest way to get some sort of custom LED action going is to program them yourself on a PIC or an arduino. Most use a variant of the C programming language If you're not familier with PICS or the arduino google them, they're essentially mini computers that you can execute your own code on to do all kinds of cool things for example light LEDS in a custom pattern :thumb:

    Thanx,

    I was hoping i could find one that i can just plug in and it works...lol

    But i suppose some custom made led circuits will just add to the geek factor.

    Cheers
