it's for the plexwriter drives
can find covers for almost every other drive except this... neone know where to get it?

I haven't been able to find it anywhere so you're last resorts should be contacting the manufacturer itself.
They may be able to either sell you one directly or help you find a supplier that services your area.

Good luck!

I am also interested in that same drive cover(it is for the 40x12x40a, correct?). I e-mailed they're support section, so we'll see if they reply.

I wouldn't go for the bezel covers if I were you. You can still see the original color on the edges from the right angles... I think getting ahold of some aluminum vinyl dye is the best way to go. I hear you can get it from Pep Boys... looks like a factory job when all done. If you feel like going with the bezel covers after that, then at least you won't see any other color on the edges...

veritas: are they just cutouts that you glue onto the front of your drive or are they actually complete bezel replacements?

lunchbox: yeah, that's it. you hear from them?

Yes, that's exactly what they are.

I think you would be better off to stealth your drives. It's really not that hard to do and it looks great.

Edit -- Here is a link (http://forum.oc-forums.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=109092&highlight=stealth) to a stealth modded case.

I want people at lan parties to know that I have a "PLEXTOR" in my case. They are the best CDRW drive makers, and I'm a strong believer in sharing knowledge of a good product. Plus I don't wanna have to answer the question, "where's your CD drive?" every time I go to a LAN party. I also think the drive would look nice with an aluminum cover. I'm going to stencil their logo on it with my airbrush. Yes, thats how much I like this company!

stealthing's okay, but there's two things that prevent me from doing it. first is that they look kind of weird when they're open. not bad... just weird. i mean after using regular cdrom drives for like a decade now, it's just odd seeing it that thick. but then again could be time for some change which is good. but the big problem i have with it is that to open it i have to do it from windows. there's a lot of times when i have defective cd's/dvd's that make my system hang when i put them in and i need to manually eject for the computer to work again, and there's actually been times when i needed that manual eject hole nobody ever touches.

but yeah... i'm thinking something more along the lines of solartrim or one of those other metallic adhesive films. anyone actually used one of these things, and does anyone know where to get a metallic feel that matches the aluminum on a PC-60... or any aluminum case for that matter?

my friend bought one for his black lianli to cover a white drive of his. we bought the correct one (pioneer dvd). we didnt think it was a sticker rather a bezel replacement and when it came we were dissapointed. He put it on and it looks but ugly cause you can still see a great deal of the white. i recommend painting your drives if you dont want it. they do such a bad job on these seriously. i am glad it aint my pc

I'm considering having some custom built for me at a shop... Here's a quote of what I said in another thread about this same thing...How hard would it be to design and have made front bezels (Sp?) for CD-ROM drives that were the material of your choice? Like instead of cutting up a Lian Li front bezel you could have it made at a shop... I have a friend with a shop, I just am not sure how hard it would be to get it so it was basically the same as the one on the CD right now... You know, click the tray piece off, then the front plate, and then snap your own on...

Anyone have ideas about having these designed?

So, does anyone?
