LED DMX512 controller?



I'm looking for some guidance on what I should get for a LED lighting
project for the garden and home, it needs to be changeable and
re-programmable to keep up interest so for instance at Xmas be able to
do the lights (altho I'll fight that impulse my partner has :D)

After doing a bit of reading and talking to some folks I've been told I
might consider buying a DMX512 controller - one that is programmable
via software: -

Daslight DVC GOLD USB/Standalone DMX Controller
Saturn Titainus Control from Chamaeleon tec

Rather expensive items!

And I was wondering if you folks knew of a cheaper alternative that
would still allow the functionality of being able to set moods in an
architectural sense to create a light show via an application on a pc
(win or Linux), rather than hand coding to get the stuff working.

The other bits needed ill leave for my other half to have the joy of
discovering but a good flexible controller that has scope to create
lots of different things would be of help, he plays with X10 (feels
sorry for the house and myself) and is a C/C++ programmer.

Thanks!
Mel :)
