I'm probably going to buy the enthoo luxe and I don't want some matte black DVD drive that will stick out like a sore thumb

Don't know if there is, but white gloss spray paint certainly does exist. Just buy a regular drive and paint it white. It's not hard, just tape off the  connectors on the back and go to town. If you're afraid of the permanent change, you could use some PlastiDip, which is basically a rubber coating that you can peel off easily if you decide you want to revert any changes.

Not sure if there's any optical drives out there with a white face plate, but Bitfenix do a stealth cover that covers up the optical drive when not in use.

Much help to OP, much wow. Clearly they want to use an optical drive for whatever reason, telling them they're a 'thing of the past' doesn't help them.

You can just use an external one if you really need it so that you can remove it and it doesnt ruin the look of your build...

Then you should of said that to OP instead of saying don't use one... As it's a decent solution to their problem.

I wish i could tell you but i'm not entirely sure. I think it might actually be a specific accessory for that case, was just something i come across when searching around for you. 

 

I can't see why it would only be specific to that case, so if you're intrigued by it, it might be worth trying to find out but i couldn't tell you for sure.

This is the only white one I have found other than ones with IDE connections, however it is $89 and not exactly the same white you're looking for I don't think D:

 

White 5.25 drive

 

Best bet would probably be to grab an external. :/
