see if you can do something creative though- don't just paint the entire thing one color, that'll look funny. if you were to like, tape off the capacitors and mosfets, you could go back and paint them different colors. That would be pretty sweet.

it makes it a lot easier when you use punctuation because I had a hard time figuring out what you were saying i figured it out but it was hard try using commas and stuff.

every once in a while this kind of thing pops up. Check out this guy, he had done it quite a while ago. I believe he used the Bic Intensity Gel Pens. This actually looks very good!

The gel pens are exactly what I was looking for. Thanks, I also just bought a UV cathod light.

Conductivity? Will pens Short out something?

Those don't, apparently.

Test it by doing a scribble on a piece of paper and using a multimeter to be sure/safe.

Fluorescent poster paints worked great for me - - $3 for a set of six colors.

[4GHZ_or_bust]

Poster paint are probably easier. Someone mentioned the gel pen don't dry and could smudge or something while common paint do dry out.

I'll have to try that myself. Might as well do something since my main rig's still in pieces while I wait for a new water block. :D

I would recommend using paint myself, but pens will probably end up working fine...I just wouldn't want them to smudge, and the coverage is hard to get even if you are doing full areas instead of detail work.

No no no. Materials that contain phosphorouscent or flourescent pigments respond to ultraviolet light. Regular copy or typing paper for instance only glows under UV light because it has UV whitening dyes in it make them a much lighter shade than is natural.

http://www.clearneon.com is a good source for clear spray UV dyes but many party supply stores carry similar products. Paint will be far more durable than UV ink.

Sorry about that statement, all paint i have tried so far has been illuminated by UV lights. Haven't checked the side of the cans to see whats in it. Propably phospor or something similar to it.

Thanks for the extra info about the blacklights. :D
