It wasn't a particularly ugly shade of orange.

 

Maybe it was an LTT brand integration?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

If you're spending more time looking at the SSD than using it, I think your priorities are not sorted correctly.

...you're complaining about a little orange accent and tab on a predominately silver SSD? 

If it really makes you upset, get a black SSD or a 2.5" to 3.5" adapter that can hide it. Otherwise, why complain?

Since you hate how it looks so much just unplug the drive, take your photos, then plug it back in when you're finished.

Actually, i like it too. Even in an all black case, just add a bit of orange accents and silver and i think you good. Maybe stickers or something. Or if your pc has a psu shroud, just hide it underneath.
