Question on computer cases

Jeepers79 · 08-06-2004, 08:07 PM

Im looking into building my own computer. My question is on tese cases do you think the bays for the drives such as cd / dvd burner etc fuld down? Or do they come off and the component just sits in there?
The reason I ask, is I think it would look silly to have white drives on a black or chrome case. Any thoughts?

Cases im looking at:

If you're interested in looks that much you can get faceplates for the drives or get cases that have fold-downs (but those tend to be crappy cases a lot of the time).

Hi,

I've a Lian Li 60 with the brushed aluminum finish and all three of my drives are black which I think happens to look quite nice. Black drives would look at home with a black and chrome case

If you if you really want a modded look, do it yourself! Nothing like a well done job with your own two hands!
