I have a 16 channel lynx express kit and an enclosure to put it in. i'll take 90 for the kit and the enclosure, shipped(within the U.S. of course, if not you pay the difference). It is not considered low voltage, it has 16 dimmable, 125v outlets. you will still need a USB DONGLE OR ETHERDONGLE to run it. first and foremost, get in the wiki and choose a sequencing software, i use vixen 2.1. it was free and works just fine. i would start sequencing now if you want it done in time for Christmas. you don't need any equipment to start learning the sequencing. if you work hard this month you could put a small show together and at least get your feet wet. i have a couple of sequences that i would share with you to get started and see what does what as far as effects. good luck
i put it where it belongs!
