Black computer parts are more expensive than regular one. When looking for Black CDROM or CDRW, it seems that TEAC has that option more than any brands. Don't forget to see the reseller ratings for their overall performances 9this is true & useful), so you don't get caught into any problems when online ordering: www.resellerratings.com Happy searching & shopping.

[cryogen_abx]

those are some KEWL cases and accessories MR. very kewl indeed, but unless you're buying a whole new system itmightbe different. i mean, the black you painted your case might not match what you buy.....
imho
what's wrong with a can of black spray paint????
my system is mostly black now, except for a DVD drive still under warranty, but all i did was remove the face plate and give a quick spray. total $$$ 5 bux fer paint, 20 mins of werk......

Hey Cicada, the man with that famous memory >140 tweak!!! What a veryyyy Cooooool case you have there. Hey Buzz, I think you'd better send your cases to Cicada to be custom painted

I miss the overclockers Australia forum. Nice and friendly and helpful just like this place, but all delivered with a healthy dose of Australian sarcasm and cynicism.

I hope Agg can get the legal problems sorted and bring the forum back.

.........and who ever the computer parts retailer was who brought the legal action.........may their business die the horrible painful death it deserves.


Now that's not very nice is it
