Page 1 of CD-ROM FACEPLATES

Does anyone know where i can get some silver faceplates to cover the cdrom and dvd drives on my pc cos i havegot a silver case and the drives are white

Thanks

You`ve obviously worked out that the faceplates can be removed, either by screws on the underneath of the drive or they just click/slide off.

I got a spraycan smooth hammerite [silver] from B&Q. 2 or 3 coats then pop them back on

The drive still worked sans faceplates while they thoroughly dried [24 hours]

WARNING Don`t look into the drives while running, lasers etc WARNING

Yeah as Skyvan says you easily remove and spray the frontplates silver and to good effect! Just get some car paint, wash and dry the plate and spray in a well vetilated area... also make sure you dry in a dust free zone. They should dry enough to replace after 3 hours if sprayed correctly.


But if you do not fancy the idea of this there are websites that offer replacement fronts... but these are usually only available for limited drives. I cannot find any sites at the moment, all the ones that I have seen sell them previously no longer seem to?

Both Maplin and PC World sell the stick on coolermaster silver bezels. Look in the components section of PC World.
