The Bay is actually White. The lighting might be making it look silver.

Hello,

You can get an estimate of shipping costs to Germany after you add the item to the shopping cart.

USPS First Class Mail is around $10 to Germany.

Danke!

Pretty sweet, I may eventually get one! I hope you plan to sell them for quite awhile/I don't end up missing out like I do on so many things, lol.

19/12/2011 : Ordered it friday night, arrived monday afternoon (with a free "pouch" for a ODD : thanks!!!). Installed in barely 5min. Totally worth it!

16/12/2011 : Just ordrered it to be delivered to France using FedEx Express (priority international).

44€ + 23€ for delivery. Gonna see how long it takes to get here, will post back to tell others (must be the same for Germany I guess).

i ordered the SE in silver. Where can i find the caddy in silver? tried ebay with no luck

Also - I'd be curious to know, how does the extra heat from the additional HDD effect things, if at all?

I will definitely be ordering one of these for my new Sony Vaio SB series...I find the standard optical drive is very squeeky when you touch it...this looks more solid, plus I have no use for an optical drive...This looks perfect.

Is there any chance of seeing a video of this booted? I'd be curious to see it working, but, I imagine it does...

Will order this in a few weeks - thanks again for making such a well crafted product.
