+1 for Arduino for quickly hacking stuff like this together -
http://www.bliptronics.com/ do some great LED modules that are
pre-wired individually addressable serial controlled RGB LEDs. There's
plenty of realtime clocks available for Arduino (the DS1302 and DS1307
are common, eg https://www.sparkfun.com/products/99 ), and if you go
with the Arduino Ethernet you can just talk NTP to your local time
server: http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/UdpNtpClient . Very convenient!
