Coloring of CD/RW Drives silver is what I need!

[stuman19]

I am getting a new computer and the case will be silver, and I want to either get the plextor 48x or the lite on 52x CD burners, but my problem is that I can't find them with a silver front casing for the drive. I want my case to look good in the front obviously so this is something I would want. Any suggestions for getting the drives to look silver to coexist with my case? Thanks

Don't use any damn sticker. Purchase the 40x Lite-up on Directron and upgrade the firmware to 48x. Thats what I did (but in black) 😀

I took mine apart and painted them. I have my CD-RW drives in Pyro Drive (1394) enclosures, but I need a bootable DVD for installing OS disks. When I can figure out how to boot from 1394 (and access the drive from DOS hehe) I will move EVERYTHING to the Pyro Drive enclosures so the only thing will be the floppy.

Cheers!

Indeed. I use them almost exclusively since they're right by my house!

Plastic model paint works great. Just remove all the faceplates, mask the LED windows and spray with small cans of model spray. Color is up to you - lots of metallics including aluminum, steel, gold, silver, and chrome. To make it really cool, accent buttons and things in bright red, blue or yellow. For $20 worth of paint you can do several computers. I just finished one and am starting another.
