Hi all, i have an Antec P150, with a beige
DVD burner inside. I need a decent silent "real white" burner, something with the right color for the P150. Any suggestion?
I need a floppy reader, too. Someone know if the Mitsumi 7 in1 floppy drive is at the right level of white for P150?

Thank you in advance for the help my friends

That's what the white faceplates on the P150 are for.
In order to get my DVD drive to fit, I had to take off a piece of plastic which was on the front (outer) side of the tray. You may need to do something similar. I did not completely take off the cover of the DVD drive because the eject button would not work when I did that.
What I wish is that the P150 came with an extra blank faceplate because I only run one optical drive.

paint them yourself! it's not that hard, i've done it for floppy and cd/dvd drives. the faceplates pop off optical drives easily, but you need to pop off the tray lip/door first (eject the tray out and the lip/door pulls off). then sand lightly, prime, and paint them. the only problem i had was the floppy door doesn't come off, so the faceplate is painted, but the door is still beige. my workaround was to always have a floppy in the drive, that way you can't see the door
