+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!
