I didn't get a lot done today, just some minor test-fitting of various parts on the chassis, but I did clean up the blotchy UV-blue paint on the big 250mm fan with Windex and attempted to re-spray it. This time, it seemed to go on more consistently. Here are some shots with low lighting, and then with the room completely dark. The completely dark pic does intensify the blue a bit more than reality; I would estimate the UV brightness is about the same as the shot with a little light. I was going for a more subtle ghostly blue, that isn't visible unless the lights are dim and the cathodes turned on, and I think this accomplished that goal.
