The TJ04B-E is in fact the TJ04-E in black. Many cases from silverstone also come in silver, although I don't think this one ever did. Amazon lists it as: Silverstone Temjin TJ04-EW (SST-TJ04B-Evolution) I have found nothing flimsy about it in my uses. > The decision is to use a Fractal Design Define R5 (Black) case with the front > foor, as originally specified, and be very careful always to keep the front > door of this case wide open, so long as there is a disc in the optical drive. > (Good luck, Steve :) You can send the eject command whether there is a disc in it or not. Just don't do that. Burning software should only do so if there is a disc in the drive as far as I can recall. At least I can't think of a case where it would do so. -- Len Sorensen --- Talk Mailing List [email protected] https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
