Build my own LCD cube

And done with an KEIL CX51, because as we all know:

"...a KEIL CX51 is the best processor for the project."
You know I feel silly for suggesting an FPGA to handle all this, it's so obvious an C51 should do it! Ok now I feel better, maybe one can make a 3d terminal instead? I'm still baffled by the number of segments, 100 is such a difficult number with systems. 64 or 128 would be much simpler.

Ahh well it's not about practical or simple, it's about COOL looking.

With 2 million LED's a 128x128x128 system might be a trite big (let us say 8x8x8 mm per pixel) so the display would be about 1mx1mx1m . Then comes power, .1W per pixel, with one plane active at any time. 1.64kw is quite a bit of juice. Then comes heat ... the whole thing might be a bit impractical with a normal budget.

Ahh well enough speculation for one day ;)

Hopefully the original troll has had there fun.
