Default Beige?

What happened to the beige CD/DVD drives? I can't find any.
Help me find one.

SATA, but if only IDE, I'll survive.

+ rep like always for help.

Yeah my Lite-On IDE drive came with a black faceplate on it, but there was a beige one in the box also.

You could always paint the cover beige. I don't think they make SATA beige optical drives.

edit: Nevermind. I found a few and yeah there are plenty of manufacturers that include interchangeable faceplates, but mostly on retail versions.

Links....? The only one I've seen with an interchangeable face plate wasn't getting good reviews, but I may have to get.


Above: true...

No SATA ones... that sucks. I'll keep looking, but I may just go with IDE/PATA, what the heck.

I'm pretty sure every Lite-ON one comes with interchangeable faceplates as shown in the pictures of that one.
