what colours are best for cases

[Pete]

what would be the best colours for a case for cooling, i think it would be black outside and white or silver inside? just asking because im looking to buy a new case and i want to have good cooling thanks

TBH M8 - Makes no difference because of such a small heat difference!

Even if it did its the other way round

[Pete]

ok thanks buddy

Black radiates heat better than white, I think.

Still dont understand why radiators are white.

becuase they're painted white? i think its more of a 'white goes with everything' kind of thing, same as black, as neither are really colours (well what my other half keeps telling me anyway) and white would lighten a room whereas black wouldn't. Lots of chrome radiators these days though, just fitted one in the bathroom.

what about pink interior.. it makes your case looks pimp

all matt black would in theory be the best but it wouldn't make any real difference

[Nox]

would look kinda cool though... would of thought bare metal would be best though - anything else would just be like insulating it? not really up on thermodynamics and stuff i have to admit

Black isn't a colour as its reflecting nothing! Although white could be a colour as its every single colour mixed together!
