here's one i've been working on and it works great! The only thing is that you want to sync it to music... I guess you could find the BPM and write the lights to go with the song.

it was around $100

all in one solution. Assuming you're gonna put a tonne of money into the build (for the lights alone), having this built and ready can make a huge difference in the amount of labour required. You don't pay much more for these products than if you built them from scratch with hobby-quantity components.
