I finished building my own PC about 8 months ago... When buying the hardware for it, I chose to go black with the case, monitor, mouse and keyboard soon to be, etc...
Since then, I've painted my DVD and floppy drive to match the case, but still have this horribly noticable beige Plextor drive. Fortunately, my case is the one Alienware used previously before their current one, which has a sliding door (or "hydraulic" as they call it) on the front... The door over the front makes the system look nice right up until I have to load a CD or power on.
So, you're asking why I don't just paint the Plextor drive, to make the whole case match... Well, my only reason is just because I don't want all the logo's/text gone off the bezel. I mean, what distinguishes it from an old 32X CD-ROM after removing any markings on it? But, I have this big LAN party coming up in a couple months, and wanna figure out something to do about this. Does anybody know where I can find a black Plextor bezel? (ehh, a 12x10x32 model would be nice ) Or if anybody has a better solution or experience with something like this, let me know.
Thanks in advance.
