    Default matching case and drive color

    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.

    this is the one i have, but im assuming you dont want a door, so im guessing this one since its the same series that it is also dull.
