Dont buy spray paint from a mod site it will be way to expensive.. Just go down to your local home depot / lowes.. They have it.

I have never seen it in hardware stores. I got mine from PCToys.com and I think that it costed me like 8 bucks. I don't think that is too shabby if I do say so myself.

i bought the paint and sleeving yesterday i got white paint and red, i also got the red uv ides, i hope mine looks like that as well.
i built a custom fish tank last year that is integrated into my cpu desk, i spent months traking down uv plants and rocks, i have my tank glowing ans would like my pc to glow as well, ill put up pics i cant wait to get tis stuff.
my buddie came over last week and was in shock, now picture this i got the black guardian, and the eye is doing the niterider thing, my cyborg evo joystick is next to that with the blue and red lights on, i have my lunescint keybord below the two, and had the black lights on in my tank my buddy says im nuts.
im a carpenter, so i built my own custom desk to boot.
yeah maybe the obsesivs compulsive set in there for a litle but hey its all for fun right?

I set mine up pretty nicely unfortunately I don't have any pictures yet but I am working on it. I can discribe it for now. First I took the whole case apart. I mean everything. I wanted it all to glow. Since my case is yellow, I went with the yellow UV paint. I sprayed all of the interior. In the drive bays, the back door, behind the face plate, and the power supply. Everything! Then I bought 4 uv fans. I replaced the stock side and rear fan with a UV fans. Then I filled the other two spaces with the other two UV fans. Then I added two CC UV lights to the case to fill it completely with light. Bought a Yellow Techflex Sleeving (UV Sensitive) which made everything pretty much glow. Here are some pictures of the things I used. Oh, except the paint... PCtoys does not sell all the different colors anymore.

I am working on it. I have a scanner now but I have not developed the pictures. Actually, I like to take pictures and I usually just use up the whole roll of film and get a new roll. So I have lots of rolls to go through... stay tuned.
