Did I cause more heat?

[chipbgt]

I spray painted my cmputer case black today (both my keyboard and mouse, and I wanted to make it at least look different from other computers)and when it sealed it all back up it seems to be running s few degrees hotter...now maybe its just because its a little hotter today than it has been this week (atlanta, GA), but could it be possible that the black is sucking in more heat than with the whiteish case that was reflecting it better?

black absorbs heat

sooooo...thats a yes?

that would be an affirmative chpbgt. it would be neat if we could have a black case instead of the boring white-grey ones they make now, but there is a reason that they are boring on the outside.....so that no one cane know how cool our machines really are on the inside!!!
