Quick parts list.
Ching chong buck converter step downs x3, 30 cents a piece when you buy 20+.
3 watt starfire grow LEDs. Blue, Royal Blue, and Red. I think three bags of 20 per color was like 15 dollars.
Pico PSU 80watt micro atx power supply. About 15 dollars.. Lots of spare power left over on 5 and 12 volt for whatever else you want to do.
Rj45 wall face mount box. I don't know how much they are.
Two rj45 keystones. Maybe 5 cents each when you buy 1000. I don't know I have thousands of them.
Aluminum flashing. Found massive roll on the side of a road.
Pallet wood ripped down into 2x2 inch.
Laptop power supply for the PicoPSU.
Thermal epoxy.
I think that is about it. I chose cat5 because you can't mess up the connection and I am building a few for people, also the shit is cheap, got a bunch of paid for boxes from network installs. Set each buck stepdown to the needed voltage for each LED type and follow your wiring diagram.
