You mean like how old plastics went from taupe. To lemonyellow over time?  It will depend on the paint they use.  It will be very specific to the coating characteristics and the UV it gets struck with.  All paint changes color over time.  The only way to avoid it is make a clear paint with flecks of very resistant materials in it.  If the white in the paint is titanium oxide you’ve got a shot.

 

Almost nothing will yellow as fast as old plastic computer cases though.  That was a different chemical process.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

I know this isn't the answer you were looking for, but wait. The R7 is about to be released.

Keep it under the desk and hidden away, which is always the best way to place a pc case.
