External Housing for DVD Drive

HI All,
I purchased an ASUS-BW-16D1HT, it works perfectly but sadly i need to change my case for one that supports a front water cooler and unfortunately that means i lose the 5.25" bay, can anyone suggest a housing that will work for the ASUS-BW-16D1HT from Amazon (UK pref) please.

TIA

Mark

Re: Possible Flash error

In that case i will return the drive and purchase a replacement, is it easy to return the stock firmware?

Re: Possible Flash error

when i try to reflash using the correct file it states:

You cannot flash your drive to this firmware file directly, please select the appropriate MK firmware file for your drive and try again.

HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_WH16NS40-NS50-1.05-NM00900-212005061440.bin
