Would be worth it. I reckon someone would pay thousands for one of those.

Could your board take the extra current draw of the larger leds?

The driver chips are good for 500mA, but they can drive relays no problems and with no extra protection diodes as they're built in. Simply speaking, I could put the current board onto a daughter board with a load of DIP package sized relays and run as many LED's as I wanted!

Nope, not mine. That design has been discussed in this thread before I think.

Quite a cool video about home they're made on YouTube too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmShcLTT83M

Maybe for you, but there are plenty of people out there who would spend that much on luxury products.

That's pretty cool - highlights the markup on the Qlocktwo though. Half the price and a custom injection moulded casing (£££)!
