Default Would a silver Mobo and a black cc do what "they're supposed to do?"

You know how your teeth look lovely under a blacklight, well, I'm looking for that effect with my mobo, vid card, etc. etc. I know it would work splendid with a "white" mobo but since the closest thing I can find is "silver" I am curious to know how it would turn out, if people have tried this, pictures would be nothing short of superb.

atually just the other day i saw a white mobo at fry's, the whole thing was white....it was an ECS mobo, some limited edition thing...all i saw was the crappy mangled one they had on display that everyones grubby hands have been all over, so it was a little dingy....but none the less....it was white.....wether or not it would show up under blacklight is left to be seen tho =)

look at how this guy made his mobo glow in the dark

He took the steps to know that it wouldnt (shouldnt) fry his part and it worked out well, Take a look

That is truly badass, although, I do not know what he meant by "all the connectors." :\ The more I'm on this board, the more I realize I know so little about computers.

damn, mobos have led displays on em now?!, damn i gotta upgrade!

i just had a thought, wouldnt the paint make the mobo waterproof!!!??? think about it, no more risk from condensation, mu8ch safer watercooling, the ability to PAINT the mobo any color you want...

No. The paint wouldn't affect the waterproof-ness until after it was already fried. And yes Ben, but don't sweat it, I STILL do crap like that occasionally, and it's good to see my topics are so popular, btw: one of my 440SX mobos has a led display, one doesn't, so don't sweat it.

The funkier the better! Those MSI's do look pretty good, especially with Gainward vid cards.

Now all they need is an electroluminescent mobo, so we won't need cc's...
