I have a wicked idea... tongue.gif
Monkey6915
none conductive uv pen? www.google.com mah son. or a hobby shop.
DevilMB3017
Yea, thats what is lookin like.

If you want to "paint" (draw over with UV paint) on the wires of motherboards, vid cards. etc. it has already been done.

But it still looks cool!
Propane
ok - maby SOME people did it - dosent mean dont do it
DevilMB3017
All I can tell you is that it's similar...but not anywhere near that...
Monkey/Kevin and Psywar will know my idea...they'll back me up that is good

I need some non-conductive paint...
Does anyone know of a crayola/roseart etc. thing they make maybe?
Overclocker16
I will post a link...

Here you are. UV Pens

BTW, I said people have done it, and it looked awesome. Never said not to do it.
DevilMB3017
I'm not doing the traces like ppl...trust me

And that stuff is UV reactive?
Overclocker16
Yes.
DevilMB3017
I'll take your word for it...i'm not going to end up doing this mod for a couple months...
But once its done, i promise to have pics...
Overclocker16
I am positive, I got that link that did a mod that traced the lines on a video card.
DevilMB3017
Do you still have that mod site anywhere? I'd like to see how he painted it on, so I know when I do my stuff.

Thanks a lot man!
bigred
good ol pc toys makes sells it. used to get it at compusa all the time. stuff actually works pretty well. FYI though, the stuff in the YELLOW can. the stuff in the BLUE can is by FMI (compusa) and it BLOWS big time.
Overclocker16
This is the mod with the UV pens.

I'm not sure that there is such a thing as "conductive uv paint" i've seen several mods of of people spraying thier cards and m/b with the stuff...the only thing is to be careful and mask off any electrical connectors (ide, floppy, power, cpu socket, etc) so that they don't get coated and fail to connect.

you can always test it out by spraying a couple coats an old nic card or something that you don't need or can replace easy, just incase.
DevilMB3017
Once again, thanks OC16 for the link. I'm finally ready to get to ready to do this mod...It'll be a while before its done.

sykocus, thanks also, but I need a pen anyways for my attempt at modding...

Devils idea is pretty cool if in my opinion. and it is original.

Yah, i dont think that UV paint is real "conductive" since that would mean that the paint would have to contain metalic tibits, ... but it doesnt.

The only concern you should have is to avoid short circuiting your electronic. And that means you dont turn on the power while the paint is still wet. You never know if the liquid contains ions (aka, conductive).

So:
dry = safe,
wet = danger
Monkey6915
yeah let it dry for at least 12 hours in a non-humid area nothing with damp air and u should be aight.

Monkey6915
WELL u man enough to tell me? Now ill ask again. About how big of a boy are you?
Overclocker16
You know, just when I thought I did like you, I take that all back completely.

Your last couple posts IN THIS THREAD have nothing to do WITH THIS THREAD. Get over it.
Monkey6915
right and yours did?..... Anyway laugh.gif Im gonna do this uv thing on mah old Tnt2 and then if it works im gonna do it on my video card im using right now fx5200. and if i tear it up im just gonna get a 9500 or 9700

I was thinking of a mod where i take some of that UV pen stuff and write my name on my window.. in chinese (cause im chinese). Would that work or would the pen just get smudged off?
Overclocker16
Do it on the inside of the window. This means you have to right backwards. Like on a window, you right it backwards so you can see it out side.

If you write it inside and have UV light on it, that would look sweet.
Ziggy54354
yea im gunna go for it once i get a uv ccfl
Monkey6915
That is a nice idea smile.gif LIGHTBULB. plus i think u guys have seen the evil dead case smile.gif that is a nice uv and unique looking comp
