Full Version: Painting Internals
do you mean tracing the pcb with a flourescent pen, or actually painting, which i wouldnt think you could do
VERY carefully with some paint? and make dang sure that the paint is non-conductive.
In fact if I were you I wouldn't even paint it last time I painted the front X on my case the fumes somehow got into the power supply and it hacked up a big spark, I was lucky nothing else messed up, but the good side is I got a Thermaltake Butterfly to replace that pos B)
no, i swear i saw a guide sometime about painting pc cards

Its called SHUTDOWN. Then take everything out of the case. THEN paint it. Let it dry and put it back together.

I,d say... lolll you know that you have to shut down your PC before painting anything in or around your case do you???
But that was fun to hear
my pc was shut down and apart and let the front X dry for 3 days
