has anyone found any cases that match regular black drives? the cases that i do find that i like are shinny, and i don't think that lian lis match because they look pretty glossy since they are aluminum...

any help?

You can get aluminium optical drive covers from lian li - definitely in silver - not too sure about if they do a black alu one or not - might be worth a look

yeah i noticed those, but i actually prefer a case with a dull look like black dvd drives...

any luck there?

Well the other option would be to buy new bay covers. You could buy some real cheep generic ones. Or, repaint your drives and make them shiney. I personally like the offset between, a duller more "plastic" look on my drives, compared to the shiney metal bay covers I use.

which antec? usually if i find a brand that makes dull black cases that match the drives, they will offer more than one style in that color...

this (http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=81003) is the one i have, but im assuming you dont want a door, so im guessing this (http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=80602) one since its the same series that it is also dull.

hey thanks a lot... yeah, i definately want a side door to access the mb, but not one on the front... any other brands that anyone has had experience with that match black drives?

i know dell computers do, but i really don't want a dell case... :)
