5x5x5 LED Cube - Arduino ATMega328

This is my custom layout for a 5x5x5 LED cube using 3mm blue LEDs.

I got the idea from Instructables (http://www.instructables.com/id/LED-Cube-4x4x4/) and then decided to go one larger and have some PCBs made for my design. I will be adding some more animations to the sketch with the main one being text (the main reason for going to 5x5x5). I will also be adding a 3d sine wave.

I am using 15 outputs on the ATMega328 to control the output. To control the LEDs, I am using 30 transistors and multiplexing with transitors broken up into rows, columns and levels (5 each).

I want a 8x8x8 led cube can u make that one?

[notcranium]

@doesnttapout No, sorry. This brings the LED count from 125 to 512. It would be too time consuming for me to try to make something like this and sell it.

Is it worth $100 I can get one online

[notcranium]

@doesnttapout If you are offering $100 to purchase one, send me an email. I would make you one for much less.

@doesnttapout Sorry, the PCBs I had custom made are only for 5x5x5. Anything other than this would require me to do a new electrical design and then order a minimum of 10 boards.

I see awesomeness. How about putting it into milky glass box. I would wonder how it looks like if you don't see the disctinct LED dots but just the a "plasma-like" diffuse light sphere. Could you make a video of that?
