Yep. I'd use black cases. Outside of the fact they look "cool" the
bigger
reason is this: black cases tend to hide scratches and minor blemishes
better then beige cases.
Remember, I am a small timer here, perhaps sales of from 1 to 3 new
computers per month. I am heavy into the repair business, not mine, theirs!
Think Maytag when you think of mine.
I can not afford to stock beige and black CD and DVD devices in light of the
fact their technology changes so fast. I could easily afford a case of black
floppy drives.
But perhaps over half of repair jobs where I have to replace CD and DVD
Devices would have black OEM components now. Over half of my customers have
DSL or cable Internet, so internal hardware modems are no longer included in
my quotes for new computers, but are optional. Same principle probably
applies to CD and DVD devices, time to move on to black.
Wow! Perfect timing! I just received 6 beige cases yesterday!
