Default Glow Test - Try *this* with a store-bought UV fan!

Here are some pics of some UV glow testing that really show a hint of just how sweet this case is gonna look when it's done! I think part of the reason is, I'm trying some different things with UV instead of just buying LED-lighted UV-reactive components. Just look at that fan, you can't get an effect like that from a store-bought UV fan, as the plastic itself is colored and not clear, as in this fan. The fan was painted with ClearNeon UV-reactive paint that goes on and dries clear, so in the daylight, you only see the clear. But when you turn on the UV light, it really pops out. The second pic was a night-pic taken with flash, so I assume it will even have a bit of a visible glow in medium to low light...but it's not visible in bright light. Which is kind of how I wanted it in the first place, in light, I want people to notice the blue and chrome instead of the glowing fins.

I really love the ghostly pale blue light! It's much cooler than the overly-bright LED fans you buy at stores. I'm also very happily impressed that the ClearNeon paint picks up the UV light from the cathode placed all the way at the rear of the case!
