Buddabing's LED controller

I know it contributes in no way to the technical discussion going on here (which is somewhat over my head), but I just wanted to thank both gl.tter & buddabing for their work on this amazingly cool project -- one which will be used by many, if not most, of the folks here on BYOAC!

Guys like me (lots of ideas but few electronics skills) really appreciate guys like you!

I just found this post, almost by accident today.  I'm very interested in this controller for my computer case (It's for the case mod, but I play mame!)

Put me on the list as :

2. I'll buy it if it's not too expensive
1b. Controller capable of controlling 40 LEDs
2b. Just the populated circuit board

I did have a question however about 4-lead RGB LED's, these have a common ground line, will these be possible for use with the controller.  From what I can tell the ground is what varies for the controller not the +5v side.  I'd hate to scrap the LED's I already have.

Hum, that might complicate things a little bit, I'm sure I can figure something else out.  I'm looking forward to seeing the finished project, and the price. 

I imagine I will pick one of these up, as I was going to spend the summer designing the same thing with a PIC chip.  I'd be happy to keep the free time and spend some money :)

Also, you might want to look into alternate markets for these boards, I can see them fitting into more markets than just MAME consoles.

* Model Train layouts (to control building lights, and even sky-lighting effects for sunrise sunset.
* Case Modders, being able to control 40 individual LED's would make them smile (It will me)
Those are just the first 2 that came off the top of my head.  I'd love to see a serial or even USB model of these controllers, my Linux machine has a 6 port-serial controller.  I could decorate a whole christmas tree with individually controllable LED's.
