Lol im not quite sure i know what u mean.

he meant paint it above u so that it drips down to the groud and not to the mobo...but i was actually thinking of buying some blue glow in the dark paint and do different parts of my case and mobo...hope ya ont mind..and glow in the dark works great with UV right?? i know the green and orange glow in the dark worked very good..do u think blue will..??
General
well i see no reason why it wouldnt. but still blue is so common you should go for a less "popular" scheme. everyone wubs their blue nowadays. in either case. if it says floresecnt on the can, then it will work just fine

well i love blue..it was my fav. color way before i ever go into computer lighting and also i have all my blue uv fans, wire, and 2 uv lights so...
General
well w/e gets ur mojo going. personally i hate it. I used to love it. but i got sick of it

General
My goal is to get this in a magazine. Its a preaty big goal, but hopefully with good wiremanegement and a good paintjob ill achive that smile.gif
kobalt
Looks awsome, lights without the wire trouble laugh.gif
General

humm that looks nice, now back to adding stuff to my sell list and getting some pics up, looks like alot of uploading to do, and editing. Anyway great job, i though about tracing my video card circuits with gell pens and putting a UV light in my case....but no.

that's the way the mobos come.


also...for general:

-did you just spray the paint into like a bowl or something...THEN paint it on? since it was spraypaint and all unsure.gif

General
Lol i forgot about this thread. but ya thats what i did. painting spray paint with a paintbrush tho is very challenging work. u gotta put like 4 caots otherwise u can see the brissle strokes.
