there are some guids on this one of them is some were on www.overclockers.com

Make shure you get the right pain and its not conductive.
take time and do a good job so it doesnt drip every were.
i dont know of any paint to use but seems Electron Chaser has you coverd with the links there.
Nice links Electron Chaser,

Do you know if this would work. My idea was to buy the liguid 4 oz bottle of the paint on stuff and putt it in my airbrush and spary it on that way. Instead of paying $14 for the aerosaul

That is interesting. I was planning on doing the same thing. I don't have an airbrush like Mr. Dell over here ;) so I might just get the aerosol.

Now here is the big question though.

What would look better out of a black Cheiftec Dragon with side window?

Glowing motherboard in red

Glowing motherboard in blue

My motherboard is a pretty neutral color. Kinda a yellow brown and is pretty light. Could probably be painted any color. Red would look so nice, but so would blue. I can't decide. :(

[syberspy9]

every one does blue i woauld say red (always a convo starter ppl will be like MSI board? and then u cna be like nope actually.....

[squasher]

depends what else you have
if you have some blue lights in there then i would have to say red for the nice contrast, but if you dont have any lights i would look at blue

[@md0Cer]

Yea, I don't have any lights. I am thinking blue might look better though. Although red would still be neat, I think I like blue better.

I painted the inside of mine blue, here's what it looks like right now.

My suggestion would be to create a stencil for the window with something like flames or some logo you enjoy....i've been thinking about trying it with flames up the window myself

[@md0Cer]

I was thinking of either the AMD logo or the ATi one. :) Unfortunatly I would have to buy two colors so you could see it over the motherboard glow right?

[darkknight187]

i'm sorry i guess i wasnt clear i would think it would need to be instead.....although the ATI logo done in red if you could afford it would look pretty sweet

and i don't know how that would work with glowing, unfortunately for the time being unless i come across a sweet deal i should be saving my cash but i have big plans as soon as i can get to spending again

[halo_2_rocks]

Or what would be neat is get green paint and a flame stencil and paint uv reactive flames on the motherboard

[sharkmont]

that uv paint really looks awesome just make sure not to get conductive paint

[mtb856]

You can test if it's conductive by making a puddle and testing it using a multimeter.

very good tip, I always thought that it would say on the package, but thats a good way if you're unsure. I'll have to save that to my book of tips.
