===== First thoughts =====
by [[user:blackhead]]

The first thought is about to be: How big is enough? And how about price? One LED cost 0,5-20 Kc from simple one color LED to RGB. There are some trade-offs when purchased in larger amounts...

  * 8x8x8 = 512 LEDs  => 250-10k Kc
  * 16x16x16 = 4096 LEDs => 2k-80k Kc
  * 32x32x32 = 32768 LEDs => 16k-? Kc


I already built one (see references), and I like to participate just to help others to build one. ;-)
