    you'd get much better answers if you asked more specific questions...
    for example, i personally havn't used them in my system.. but i have a pretty good chance of answering whatever you're wondering... if you'd ask it.

    Yea sorry about being vague,
    I'm wondering how people have used the paints... like technique and application.

    That was me. The mod was from metku. He took some gel pens that appeared UV reactive and tarces the traces going to the GPU on his vid card. Awsome.

    I would try Walmart, Kmart, Craft Store, or an office supply store. The ones used in thevideo card mod are just Bic's, like this . Hope that helps.

    They don't harm anything... evem when drawn across lines...
    They are neat but I'm gonna buy some UV paints so it will look cleaner.
