why would you want to do that?

[Easto]

I wouldn't.

the paint would act more as an insulator, so i wouldn't do it. you may be able to have it anodized if you had to have it colored, but i think just buying a retail heatsink would be more effective.

nice Gateway, BTW. did you remove the duct over the CPU for the pictures, or permanently?.

Ahhhhhhhh...Slow down the heat exchange...Good point...

Yes I leave the shroud off.

Im not gonna put alot of mods in her cuz as soon as income tax is back it's time for a new comp..This one will be my kids..

To kill that "I gotta modify something" urge I just painted my case...Purple,yellow and black...Woohohoooo......Pimp...lol

Gotta do a lil detail work to her but I will post a pic soon..
