So I am building a DIY LED. I dont want it to look like this

No offense to the guy who made that. I am looking to build something like this

. I am using a Coralux driver board and a Coralux storm controller. The LED will have 5 controllable channels. Channel 1, 4 deep blue. Channel 2, 2 violet. Channel 3, 1 red 1 lime. Channel 4, 2 whites. Channel 5, 2 cool blue. I am using eagle software to design the pcb but have never used it before and am struggling. Has any one done this before? Hints, tricks, help would be greatly appreciated. If someone has used Eagle to do this let me know. I would pay for someone to do this for me. Although my inner DIY nerd wants to do this myself. I want all the LEDS to be surface mounted in the same lay out as the Coralcompulsion par 38 20k. I cant be the only guy out here who wants to do this.

You could soldier on pig tails to the leds then run them behind the panel if possible would hide alot of the wires and for the fans you could use the same stuff the use on cars to bunch the wires together some kind of thin coragated flexible tubing

Doesn't look like that guy too much time. You could also add a panel to cover everything but the fans and lights to give a even more professional look
