Marke522 Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 Has anyone seen a place that sells the faceplates for the DVD/CD rom drives?I have a black tower with a few beige drives, and it looks a bit strange.Also needing a black creative drive ir, and floppy. I would just paint them but then I would have no lables for the creative drive. Thanks. Mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcemanND Posted April 10, 2005 Share Posted April 10, 2005 check with the drive manufacturers you may be able to buy them through them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marke522 Posted April 10, 2005 Author Share Posted April 10, 2005 Thanks, for some reason I didn't think of that. I looked around Newegg, ZipZoomFly and eBay.I'll try going to their sites next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IcemanND Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Good idea I just hope it won't damage the drive's internal electronics?face plates and tray faces are removable, just take them off before painting and replace after drying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Char_0079 Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 If you have the time, just stealth the drive. It looks really cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Char_0079 Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 what do you mean by this? like having a front door on your case?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Stealthing the drive means you use any blank drive bay covers you have left over and use that to hide the optical drive. while ago now some bright spark came up with the idea of hiding the fronts of their CD drives by using the blanking plates that came with their case, it didnt take long for the idea to catch and now it seems like a case mod isnt complete without having stealthed drives...Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 @Char_0079:How does the stealthing of the drives work if you've got the open/close buttons on the front of the drive? Do you just end up pressing the general area where the button would be to open the drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use CDR.exe to open my drives via the my computer menu. Not the most elegant soluiton, right clicking on the drive, but it works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcemanND Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 that's what the article is indicating, just put a filler piece of plastice or whatever where the button it to fill in the space and the press in that area of the bezel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
