From an aesthetics point of view - I don't think so. It may be however that
your computer case has a face plate which just fits over a standard ACER CDROM.
You can certainly replace it with a standard CDROM drive (don't get an acer -
there's much better brands available. I've sold a lot of AOpen drives, and love
em: I bumped into a customer last night who told me his is fantastic. My advise
would be to find a reliable local shop who'll get you a 40x AOpen drive, and
stuff how your system looks (BTW, AOpen isn't the only good brand, I just
happen to know they are reliable:)
