About Carousel's settings

I want to have a Featured Product module on the frontpage for 6 products, it will display randomly 3 products at a time and "fade" to another 3 every 10 second.

My problem is I want this module to occupy a width of 860px, with the 3 products placed evenly on it. I don't want each product to "scream" (too large) on the frontpage, so I need to insert a lot of space among them horizontally cause the module now packs the 3 products on left and leave a lot of space on right.

I have tried a lot thru the backend pages and think that I may need to look into php/css files for solution. What files should I look at?
I know a little php/css, only enough to e.g. move the price from right to left and below the product picture on product page. But I am eager to try. Please give me some direction.

Many thanks

Oh yes, they looks like monster to me.

Do you know any tools for developer to handle such file? I like your "Fade" effect very much and will come back to this later when I have more time to study php.

oic. Thanks for your advice.
