I think they should just start shipping all non-OEM drives with multiple face plates.

personally, I prefer silver/aluminum, since it looks sleek in either a black or silver case.

just get a case that has a door that covers the drive...like this...

that way you can mix and match...once you shut the door, it won't really matter...

my pc on the left has a gray case, off beige lite DVD rom, black NEC 2510 DVD burner and silver card reader/usb/firewire thingey and black 3 1/2 floppy drive...

I personally like the short and eloquent response:

"because they still make beige cases..."

Speaking of retro, why don't we have any 60's-green computer cases? PC's become cool, challenge Apple.

Nah, never going to happen.
