I wouldn't paint it.  While the 4000T might have had a black front, that was not the norm for classic Amigas.  I think the current color achieves the proper retro look better.

About the door blocking things, is there any reasonable way to get the DVD drive to push the door open?  Kind of like the little doors on many newer cases that push a flap open.  I don't know if the drive would have enough force to open that big of a door though.

I bet I could get that to work if I didn't bother with a latch.  Bumper on the left side of the CD drawer to get the best leverage and some smooth hinges would probably do it.


The trick would be getting the door to close back up when the CD drawer closed.  I know that this is probably WAY out of range for the effort/benefit ratio, but what about a tiny momentary switch that would cause a small motor to close the door when the CD drawer closed.  Let it swing free for opening, but when the drive closes, it engages a small motor that closes the door with friction.


Oh Oh and with blackjack and hookers...and forget the Amiga and Blackjack!
