Or better still, build a little dmx interface and drive some Martin 
Roboscans :p)

Man I had the ultimate loungeroom disco before I moved up here..
The mp3 player was interfaced into 4 Roboscan 518 units. 12 Dichroic 
Colors, 5 rotating gobos, strobe/shutter and full pan/tilt.. It was wild 
:p) Plus the strobe, smoke machine and 12 inch mirror ball.

Gee I wonder if my new tenants appreciate the mirror ball and pinspots 
in the loungeroom...

OB Linux content, it was the test bed for my Linux based sound/lighting 
system thats installed in Gilkisons Dance Studio in Perth.
