I have a great idea for Kickstarter, as you may have heard from my previous posts, i am planning to build a modded watercooled PC. Now i have a bigger idea. I might turn to kickstarter to fulfil that and to make a limited run of WIFI RGB PC LED systems to buy or give away. Is this a good idea?

No. Do it on GoFundMe. Kickstarter isnt the place for this.

My arsenal: i7-9700k Gaming Rig, an iPhone, and Stupidity.

That's not a mod kit... you just said sell a PC. That's definitely against T&C

No build a PC WITH the Mod Kit to show it off, and then sell the kit to the community desperately

The product already exists as I pointed out in your last post, and it would be really hard to make it cheaper, so I wouldn't get your hopes up about getting funded.

 

I guess your idea is a TINY bit different, but anyone with a molex to DC barrel plug adapter could do the exact same thing.

Not to be a pessimist or anything but this product does exist already as Scheer mentioned, especially in large scale application in bars, nightclubs, or places where they have lots of back lighting or which need to be controller remotely via a wifi based app on a phone or tablet.
