Sorry for the confusion. Watching the colors change in the building video reminded me more of a muted LCD than it did LEDs. The PS1 mod is the old trick of putting a PS1 LCD into a case. The benefit was that they were cheap and easy to ebay.

Damn Jon, that's looking slick dude! Congrats on the feature. I'm trying to work something out in my head about the lighting for you, but Im not good with circuits. I can get LED's to turn on and off for you, but that's about it. Check out ledshoppe.com when you go to buy LED's (if you don't already have them).
Lookin sweet bud. Like Rick, I'm at a loss as well--circuits are not that strong of a point with me.
For some reason I keep thinking "sound activated". Although it would detract from watching a movie.
Hey, any progress on this? We are dying for an update.
Sorry guys, I'm away from home trying to find work. Might have some updates in the near future, at least I hope so.

Wow Jon, this looks great!
I found this little video using an 8X8 RGB led panel.
They are 2.38 inches squared, so unfortunately it will take a bunch to cover your case.
You can get the plain panel
For 29.95, but you will still need the circuitry to drive it.

OR they have one with a SPI serial input backpack attached for 59.95

Both are pretty expensive.
If you check the datasheet here.. http://www.sparkfun.com/datasheets/C...-2388CRGBC.pdf if shows the schematic of how its all put together which could give you some direction if you want try and build your own diy style.
Also you should check out the Arduino boards and project forums. Maybe someone has done something similar that you can use.
Looking forward to how this turns out, its fantastic work so far!!
That's an awesome find OvRiDe, thye look amazing.
