Maybe it's just me but it sure seems difficult to find drives that exactly match the color of your case.

With you on thatone raz, my system has 4 different tones of gray in the front.
Another thing ive noticed is the fit to the front, my cd player sticks out in one side only about 3mm but anyway.

a while ago, my screen, two printers, scanner, tower, ups, internal cd, internal zip and floppy all had different shades of tope and off-whites's, ugly as hell

2 words: spray paint!


(disclaimer - I am serious about painting your system but only if you disassemble the case and remove the faces of each device and paint them far away from the electronics.)

Use a roller. Then it would look as cool
as an Imac.

Never thought of looking before, but my Nicoles, Lexmark, Mustek,Rookey, case with Hi Val,Actima, floppy and zip,even the old LS AST monitor, plus old backup epson tractor printer are all a matching color, only thing that doesn't match is the message centre I just brought in from the office, Maybe it's all the smoke stains from the Philip Morris's http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif but even if they don't match Look at the screen most of the time http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif

Would matt black be the most efficient? I always wondered about making cases white or off-white. Same dumb idea as whoever thought to paint all central heating radiators gloss white. If you look at old buildings, they were all dark matt colours http://www.sysopt.com/forum/smile.gif
Even better, add some texturing to increase the surface area http://www.sysopt.com/forum/wink.gif
