Need help finding a case
I have an Alienware aurora R5, I apparently didn't select it with the Hdd drive when I built it online so I'm having to install the cd drive myself. Does anyone know where I can either fine an entirely new case or just the front panel that has the cd drive slot on the front for the drive to eject out of? I looked on eBay and amazon and I've only found cases like the one I currently have. And for the cd/DVD drive, what size drive would I need to buy. I've emailed Dell 3 times over the last 2 months and they never bother replying to my questions....go figure. Could I purchase the drive from Dell and the case? Thank you

Its not simple. No idea what the Blueray Drive part number is. Panasonic UJ260 is a 9.5mm drive but the metal bracket and screw are not on this. The dell part number will also have CUSTOM BEZEL. Although I DONT KNOW IF 8R0PF is the drive or case bezel. From what I gather the Drive is SLOT LOADING Panasonic UJ167 DELL OWPXF9
which conflicts with pop out Laptop drive. Aka there may be a Slot loading panel and a Pop out drive 9.5mm panel.
Note the drive below has a bezel.
