Speaking of "PC beige" Vs Black drives......I recently had to paint some drives to use in my Antec 1040B clone (which of course is black). As for a floppy drives go, Sony are the easiest. Bezel pops right off for easy painting. The bezel on my Asus CD-S520 (52x CDROM) was a PAIN, it wouldn't come off. I had to do the masking tape bit on it and left the door alone to preserve the "Asus" logo. Looked really bad, so went ahead and painted the door also. No more "Asus 52x" on the front now. Be nice to be able to find some white Asus decals. I wanted the Teac 540E (40x12x48) in black AND RETAIL, and they don't make them. I wanted the retail over the black, so I had to get a retail white and will paint it. For those of you entertaining the idea of painting; if the headphone jack is chrome and you want to keep it that way, I just put a same diameter screw in it, one that the screw head just barely covers the jack. For the LED(s), I use this "clay type substance" called "tack" that you use to hang (for example) pictures on a wall. It has strong COhesive properties, but weak ADhesive properties, meaning it will stick to itself better than other objects. I get a very tiny piece of it, just large enough to cover the LED, mold it somewhat into the shape of the LED then place it over the LED with something like a very tiny jeweler's screwdriver. After paint is dry, just peel it off. Hopefully the Teac 540E will have a removable bezel and all this won't be necessary with it.
The best paint I've found that matches nicely the Antec clone black color, is "Dutch Boy Fresh Look Acrylic Enamel" in Satin black (spray can). It's slightly more glossy than the case itself. If you want it to match the case EXACTLY, get the flat black in that brand. Dries in 15 minutes to be re-coated, or sanded (600 grit emery) then re-coated. Handle in 2hrs.
