What to do with my case?

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?
 
I like the second option... But I really don't like the Ammo, so either way I don't think it will look that amazing. The first option would look way too bright and look funny. The second option will make it look much less... ammoish... and make it look cool. Also, I would take apart the thing in the top panel, make the LEDs a different color, and spraypaint the buttons silver or black.
