Darn you, darn you all anyhow. This site is starting to cause some major stress in my life. First this constant need for higher speeds, then for lower temps, and now, now the purdiest colors!

I've taken on all that I can though, I can make no more decisions on my own, so I figure why not make you, the ones that have put me into this percarious position do the deciding for me?

What color should I paint my radiator? I just don't like the mismatch colors from the manufacturer soldering it all together. Suppose heater cores aren't intended to be seen. Anyway, I've got the fins all taped off, I just need to decide what color to paint it. I've got all the standard spray paints... blue, red, yellow, green, black...

Your vote could determine which color!

Paint it to match the rest of your system. Is it enclosed in your case? If so, what color is your motherboard, video card, IDE cables, neon lights?

why not paint it just like the case but get a black light like some kid suggested in some other post (sorry no clue who or where this post was or from) http://www.clearneon.com/

i havent used it but i would really like to cuase it looks pretty cool. i think im going to make my black anctec sx1030 painted with silver or green grills and then may put some of this on in the inside and get that neon stuff. so instead of accent lights ill have the things lit when i want too, wont have to wire it, looks pretty good (from pictures) and only one light

go green:cool:

does painting a radiator reduce its efficiency?

Dont paint your radiator that would be bad.

I'm not painting the fins or the piping, just the ugly crap. Nearly all radiators bought for overclocking come painted.

I painted my heater core flat black. Not on the fins, just the "ugly crap".

As for favorite color, Midnight blue metalic. Candy apple blue is also shweet.

i think, well thought that blue was cool for a wile but now i hate it because if you go to a case gallery, what color do you see? blue thats all you see or sometimes youll see a black lite or a green one... if not them it has no lights and has the default leds

i personally love RED, i changed my keyboad gonna get a power led when i get the time to check the voltage and my block glows red....

I'm with you, THat's why I'm building an Orange PC, cuz nobody seems to dig orange as much for some gay reason...

Then again I like any color that's not pink, bright purple, or hurts my eyes.

well i saw this here (http://www.designcomp.com/Cases/Lian-Li/Anodized/PC70/R2/Red_Inside/pc70r2_inred.htm) and thought of those of you who liked the red. and now that i think of it, it would look really really good to have a different color inside of the case. so why not do an opposite color to what you have inside. im thinking of putting a red interior in my black sx1030 but that wont be for a while, still maybe green

Got to stick with black unless you go with silver (which is only a lighter version of black). Got to love Black. If only they could make lights that where actually black, not the lame purple ones, hummm..........
