    has anyone found one that doesn't look atrocious given the curved and molded stock optical drive cover?

    looking to throw an SSD in and keep some storage. plus I never use the DVD-ROM and its loud and annoying.

    There was a thread made not too long ago about this.

    From my understanding, you are supposed to take the little cover off of the cd/dvd drive bay and put it on the new bay. That way it looks factory.
