Just a simple question
I have a Black\Silver Case with White/Beige Drives, so I wanted to get matching drives.
Are there different shades of colors for hardware? I have a Silver front so was wondering if any Silver CD Drive would match it, along with a Floppy Drive. Could anyone help me by linking me to a Combo Drive that has a burner as well as the normal CD Drive in Silver, and also a Silver Floppy disk? Last edited by Apex; 11-19-2005 at 08:47 PM. |

NEC makes a DVD read/write drive in silver, and ASUS makes a silver DVD ROM that is silver. I have no idea about CD read/write/rom, but at this stage of the technology game I would go with DVD and get something that matches your case.

So there is only 1 shade of Silver? I don't want to get the wrong color Driver.
And if I got a DVD drive it would run PC Games, etc and be able to burn music to a CD? |

No, that drive is just for reading DVD's/CD's. You want something like this,
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827135045 You can burn DVD's and CD's, and of course watch DVD's and works just like a regular CD drive.

Seems they dont have it, though directron does
http://www.directron.com/mitsumisilver.html Honestly do you really need a floppy drive? There almost useless now, and since your going to have a CD burner, you can use that. I havent even used a floppy disk in about 2 yrs now. |

Do that have USB ports? If so, id recommend using a flash drive. They have gone way down in price and are quite usefull.

Yea, but I'm also looking to replace my white floppy, because it doesn't match my case, and if I just take it out, I don't have the piece to replay it.
It is only 8 dollars. |

Yep, it uses a standard IDE cable to connect to the motherboard, and a standard 4 pin molex for power.

Color coordinating drives and cases
Quote:
Also, quite a few drives come with multiple bezels in their retail setup (beige, black, aluminum colors). Aftermarket replacements are readily available for the more popular brands, such as LiteOn.
