UV Drawing
This is going to be a quick mod to show but there have been few queries about this so here goes. I'll show you what
happens when you play with pens that have UV reactive ink (gel) inside.

Pens from BIC
|
I just happened to bump into these pens when I was getting some resupply to my food storages. I noticed the word FLUO
on the package and immediately thought that maybe these could work well together with UV light. I bought the package and head home to try
them out.

Tracing the wires
I removed the GF4 Ti4400 made by Albatron
from my case and started to trace the wires. It was bit harder than I expected because the pen tip was slipping away from top of the
thinnest wires. Taking it slow and short distances at a time made the drawing easier.

and the right side
The magic happens under the UV Cold Cathode. The effect was more intense than I had hoped for.

Updated! 1.2.2003
There were some requests to add a wide angle shot so here it is.
Like I said, this was a fast mod to do and report. You can easily use this method with your other hardware too. Motherboard, fans,
connectors etc. can get a beatiful glow with this technique. Don't know how easy it is to find this kind of pens where you live but
at least you now know that they do exist. Happy modding! :)
One reader sent me a link to these pens
and they seem to be the same product. Hope that this helps you to find these pens easier.
Another link and place to buy: Office Depot.
