I am thinking of getting the ANTEC SX635BII mid tower case to build a
computer. The case sounds great except for the color not actually
being black but rather a dark gray. I don't know why computer case
manufacturers are doing this but I have seen several "black" case that
were actually dark gray. Now if it were black I would get it, however
I have read the reviews at Newegg and people either love the contrast
between the gray case and black drives or they hate it. Does anyone
have a picture of this case with black CD or DVD drives install on the
web where I could look at it.

No but Plasti-Coat sells a nice semi-gloss black spray paint.

Yes that's the case but I'd like to see it with black drives
installed. Since it is really more of a dark gray, people either hate
how it looks with black drives or love it. Don't know which group I
fall into until I see it with the drives and don't want to buy it
without knowing.

I forgot to mention this about my antec case, in the other newsgroup, but it
is the 10 bay with the front door that opens to give you use of the optical
drives and floppy drive. You never see the drives unless you open the case
front.
