    I just wrecked a couple of my spare 5.25 bay covers from my Antec Dragon in the quest for my perfect rheobus baycover (luckily I made atleast one decent one! :rolleyes: ) however I am now minus any spares. Does anyone know of a UK source of these things in black? I've seen a black Lian-Li (is that usable? how do the Lian-Li blanks fit in?) but nothing else.... boooo hoooo! :waah:

    Just one more thing. Anyone else got a Black Cheiftec Dragon? Just wondering.... is yours true black? Mine is a like a very very very dark grey instead. I'm guessing that it's meant to be like this as the bezel, baycovers and paintwork are all the same colour (which suggests the paintwork is the right intended shade...).

    Main reason I'm wondering is cos I fancy purchasing one of the new Antec/Cheiftec premade sidepanel-windows. I'm too much of a ***** to try it myself :sigh: so this seems a good idea to me heh heh heh. Looking at some of the shots on various sites it looks the same colour.

    BTW, how much are u paying for those bezels mate? :naughty:

    Well Pete has always come up trumps when your chips are down.

    The colour was always a funny one, gun metal describes it best. I ordered the side panel with a window and is well made. They also come with a blowhole and fan too. You will be supprised at the quality, I was.

    Cracking kidney shap window Cyberbob:)
