Well, the time has come to finally replace my optical drives. I've used my current drives for a number of years and I'm interested in Lightscribe, so I plan on getting a new CD/DVD drive and burner - probably an Asus DVD-E616A2 and a Benq 1655 both from Newegg.
About the only thing I'm not sure about at this point is whether I want the drives in silver or black. I've got an Ammo 533 and the front of my system doesn't really look all that great as it is - it looks half silver and half black, and I'd like to go for one or the other. Here's what I mean:
The 3.5" card reader has a black faceplate I can swap in if I need to. As I see it, I have two options:
Option 1: Buy the drives, put the black faceplate on the card reader, and paint the remaining 5.25" covers black.
Option 2: Get the E616A2 in silver and buy a silver Cooler Master drive cover for the Benq 1655 (since it doesn't come in silver). Leave the card reader and Guru panel as they currently are.
Thoughts?
