    Any clue where I can find good quality front-loading drives?

    By front-loading I mean the kind with just the small slit in it for the CD or DVD (Ideally I'd like a DVD Rom drive and a CD-RW Drive) like some cars have instead of having to press a button to have the tray come out.

    I know that somebody on here had a beige one that they used for a cool tutorial on LED's in it, but I don't know what brand it was.

    Any ideas?

    cdrw or dvd-+r slotin drives are only available from panasonic/matsu****a, but they are a bit pricy cause they're notebook drives.

    I also have the logic supply panasonic cdrw. It is kinda of expensive because you need to buy the ide adpater and a mounting bracket for the drive. If you do buy the bracket you can install your hdd in it like i did. Saves a lot of space.

    Edit: This is the one i have. logic supply

    He has two notebook slot loaders mounted in 5.25" bay adapters, which each also have a space for a 3.5" drive (one's a floppy, one's a card reader IIRC).

    Showoff indeed. :lol:
