So, after some thought I decided to pull it back a it. I landed on this.

Decided to eliminate the 5v power supply, go with 12v LEDs and use a buck converter to power the Nano, sound card, microphone. I found a really cool tutorial on youtube that shows how to make LED strip lighting react to audio. With the set up in this new diagram, the microphone will make the LEDs match the sound. So I can play some pulsing sound or static or whatever and the LEDs will react to match. Should be a pretty cool effect. Here is a link to the tutorial if anyone is interested.

I am also considering making a custom PCB for this project to help keep everything tidy and compact. I have already begun some basic "sketches" in tinkercad for designing an internal structure to mount all of this, while the 3d printer finishes up the final few pieces of the lid.
