5.25" drives for HTPC

Link? Pics?

Ah, you mean this. It looks good, but I guess there's one other caveat - the sides of the bezel can't be wider than the drive, or else the drive doesn't fit properly. I know this because I have a classic Pioneer slot loader, and fitting it would mean dremeling off the side edges of the bezel, but then the bezel wouldn't stay on. If you look closely at this pic of my already present drive you'll see what I mean about the width of the bezel.
 
Every burner I looked at just now has a bezel that is a bit larger than the metal chassis of the drive. I can't believe that Lian Li wouldn't have allowed for that. Look more closely.

Actually the Sony drives look like what I'm looking for. On a somewhat related note, I may just wait for an HD-DVD drive 🙂
 
I know. I saw Sony's first Blu-Ray drive and it's got the bezel width I want, then I realized a lot of their drives are like that now. So I figured I'd kick it up a notch.

I don't mind waiting, I'm still on Socket A 😉
