You've got a great setup for having *fun* too. Being able to
actually watch the results, and adjust fan speed etc while
getting actual feedback on results is great.

I'm more into software than hardware these days, so the
Crystalfontz unit suits my needs; but for anyone who doesn't
want to do the software a manual controller like you are using
is the equivalent as far as fun goes.

Can you post a URL to a product info sheet or something similar
for the units you've got? Might be interesting...
