This might be better placed in the Video Hardware section.

I know there's already a thread there about "Best CPU?" that's 10 pages long.

I've seen black faced drives at both PC Club and Computer Geeks. I order and shop from both stores and have been very satisfed so far.

For best CPU/motherboard, I've found the tests on Tom's Hardware are a good place to start. They also have a price comparison engine off the site so searching through them should get you the lowest prices.

Black faced drives? Get a beige drive, and paint the cover/drive tray plate.

At the following page on the left side you'll see a search option for color of a drive (as well as type, make, etc.):
