If you do a search at your favorite shopping site (Froogle, Pricewatch,
or such), you can find silver DVD-ROM drives.  They seem to be a little
more expensive ($20 to $40).

I'm concerned about finding a quiet DVD-ROM drive.  My current DVD
player is rather loud, and I want to fix the problem, not make it worse.
