Lmao.
It's really a thing of personal preference.
HOWEVER, on the terms of cooling, Black cases will absorb and transfer more radiation. So if it's under a desk, it will be better at cooling. If it's somewhere exposed to the sun, however it will be more likely to heat up, due to the fact it absorbs more radiation.

Good point. Also you get more initial impact with silver case but in the long run black case wins IMHO. But dust is more visible on black case so it's still very difficult decision to make. In the end, it comes down to your personal preference I think.

I prefer black PC games at the moment.

I wouldn't say no to a silver case though.

Not a real fan of silver myself. Didn't want black like everybody else so I got a blue case. Don't know what colors are available to you though.

You won't lose much heat from a black case over silver. At least 99% of heat transfer from a case to the room is via forced air convection (i.e. fans). There's just not enough temperature difference to make radiation work. Steel va Alu makes no diff for cooling due to similar reasons.

As for sitting in the sun, that is a problem for black cases, so if you're going to leave it in sunlight a silver case is definitely an advantage.

Black case with nice blue LEDs ftw!

Having said that, silver ones look nice too! My pref is for black though.. just...

7-0 on the poll says it all

You could buy my 'nice blue case', but it's pretty rubbish and broken.

The worse case i've ever used. -Sniffles- I still miss my Wooden Case, but my father made me buy a new one, because he didn't appreciate mine and my grandad's handywork.

The thing with black is it can look good, even if whatever it is is cheap. Very cheap silver kit looks absolutely horrible. Plastic silver looks as naff as can be, only proper metal looks good in silver.

Silver

Black is best! Not very PC (that's politacally correct btw) but who cares.
