cause they look better. my port isnt black, but you cant see it so it doesnt matter. it is sure sexy looking though.

alot of people probably have the intentions of carpeting their box and just don't end up doing it.

Word of advice, remember to paint the port pieces before you assemble the box...dont ask how I know...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif (I was in a hurry ok, slipped my mind a little)

sorry, pardon my ignorance but I don't know if your all joking or not. I obviously know it doesnt add anything db wise, but is it actually for when you carpet the box?
