 Re: Mod Im currently working on.

I'm sitting here with a UV light in one hand, a old video card in the other, and my tools: a 8-pack of neon gel pens. My goal? draw over the PCB circuitry on the card and have it glow thanks to a new UV CCFL I just bought.

My pens under the UV light. The purple and blue dont light up at all, but meh. What can you do.

My first victim... a old video card. Its a TNT/TNT2 pro 32mb AGP card. I currently use it as my secondary card. But meh.

I'm doing this mod as we speak so I'll keep you updated. If your interested, you can always MSN me. I've got a cam too (sorry, no nudes)

Your .gif is moving fine for me.

The milky pen is a good idea, but you have to put a fair bit in some cases as most UV lights aren't strong enough. Personally I wouldn't have a UV light in my computer as they're damn hot and the cathode versions I've found to be useless. I'll stick with the ol' blue cathode.

I remember having the same problem with animated gifs not animating i cant remember exactly how i fixed it but ill give it a try
  • In Internet Explorer go to Tools>Internet Options>Advanced tab, scroll down to Multimedia section and make sure the box is ticked on 'Play animations in webpages'
  • I also had a problem with Zone Alarm something to do with ad blocking which also meant blocking animated images
hope that helps

WC on the fifth pic i dont see any difference between the circled bits and the rest of the board?

By the way, why in God's name do you have an avatar of a guy kicking a pole?

According to my English teacher, kids in Kyrgyztan or however the hell you spell that... kick trees to train for kickboxing. At least, that's how he said it was when he was there... if he was there.

Try this:

  • Remove temporary internet files (extra -> options -> remove files)

Always fixes the problem for me

(not that I use IE that much, but we already had a waaay too long discussion about browsers.)

'tis true. I don't know about Kyrgyzstan, but lots of martial arts guys in china/japan/thailand etc train that way (Especially the Thai Boxers (which is more kickboxing than boxing))

The Okinawan Karate types also recommend similar treatment for your hands, shoulders, etc... Not necessarily by attacking trees, but by hitting something hard anyway.

I know its hard to see in the pics, but here, it looks nice. Darn webcam lol.. cheap thing. The UV light I'll be using in my comp is a cathode, so its bright and cold. But the one I am using right now is a little cheap thing.

Anyways, heres another pic: (the orange dots)

It was Zone Alarm's fault

Actually, he's not kicking a pole... his just kicking in the air. It might look like a pole but it's just the edge of the floor. It's Rock Lee from the Naruto anime/manga series ^_^. When I found this nice animated .gif I simply couldn't resist....

Speaking of guys kicking poles... I just remembered Kickboxer with Van Dame :

WC, looks cool... you'll have to take a high res. pic when it's finished

After about 4 hours, this is what the card looks like. Theres daylight now comming in the window so it takes out abit of the effect. Most of the orange dots are done. I need to add a few more. And then I retouch them so they are brighter. I've added a 2 of the yellow lines over the circuitry.
