I'm undertaking a rather ambitious project in building my own case. I'll probably use the chassis from a full tower, then do the actual outside of the case using 3/8' Lexan (plexiglass). Anyway, the desired outcome is to have each visible side of the case done with the logo of a major company that I have a part from in my PC - ie the two largest sides are nVidia/ATI and AMD. What I want to do is use UV reactive paint for the actual logos so that they have a neat effect for LAN parties.
The question is, does UV reactive paint glow the colour of the UV light (Ie will it glow green if it's hit with UV light from a green uv fan) or does it glow whatever colour the paint is supposed to be, regardless of the source of the UV light?
Thanks, and I'll be watching this thread if anyone has suggestions for the mod itself or the PC.
As it stands, the parts will be as follows -
DFI LANparty nf4 Ultra-D (of course)
AMD Athlon64 3200+
nVidia (probably MSI) 6600GT (to be replaced when nextgen cards are released)
OCZ PC3200 Gold EL
Ultra X-Connect PSU
Seagate 200gb sata + 160gb WD Caviar IDE drives
Those are the core components anyway. I will LIKELY be using the first four logos on the Case (AMD on left panel, nVIDIA/ATI on right panel, DFI LANParty across the top panel, OCZ on the front panel). I'm also watercooling this, so I am not concerned about putting lighting in the case that products heat, so if you have suggestions, post them. I am aiming for one sweet case, and I don't mind spending money on getting there.
Thanks in advance, Hippotautamus.
