Bezel measures 12 X 127mm (assuming this inches centric person properly read the
metric ruler)
It's fits flush with the side of my computer, a tad short on the door length,
the oem was 12 X 131mm. The Liteon is a bit tight, sometimes sticking on eject.
Looks: not that important to me, but the black color matches the oem here. I've
removed and replaced a few laptop Cd drives and they all seem to have the same
dimensions except for length and sometimes shape of the bezel.
Thanks for the link to the Dell forum, didn't know about that one.
