[mrpete]

Hello
Where can i find a black DVD, DVD/CDRW combo, or CDRW combo that doesn't have a tray thing (ie you just slot it in, like in cars)

See this pic for what i mean -


Thanks

i think you can only get laptop drives like that, so it may need some mooding, which it looks like in the pic

ITXwarehouse have some slim-line optical drives that are slot loaders, don't see why they shouldn't work in an atx case, would save some room too!

It's easy enough to spray slot loading drives any colour you want using some small squares of paper you can slip behind to cover the felt bits of the Pioneer drives. I sprayed my Pioneer 106S grey:
