I am thinking of buying an Antec Solo for my new computer. It's a fantastic looking case, in my opinion. But I think that putting a DVD drive into it is going to ruin it's clean lines, so I want to stealth the DVD drive.

I have seen many references to taking the bay cover and essentially just taping it to the drive tray. Thought this would work, I want to find a better solution. I'm not sure that it would look that great and I want a better solution to hitting the drive button than just pressing in a corner of the bay cover.

Has anyone use Lian Li's drive covers on a non-Lian Li case? I may try this first. I'm worried about colour matching though.

Using the bay cover, in some way, would probably be ideal because it will match the case perfectly. I was thinking of trying to mount it on tiny spring hinges. Also installing a small push button to match up with the DVD eject button. Problem is finding the parts.

Anyone else have any ideas?

I guess no one is as fussy as me. :D

Or is there a better place for this post?
