So should I order white now, or wait until the pink filament restocks?

I'll be patient and wait it out - please keep me posted on the pink!
I found a different brand of filament that had a color much closer to "Hello Kitty Pink" and your GD-EMU is ready to order on bit-district.com

Happy Father's Day TO ME!!!! Order Placed!I found a different brand of filament that had a color much closer to "Hello Kitty Pink" and your GD-EMU is ready to order on bit-district.com
Well, at least I tried to place the order. Your site initially let me add the pink option to cart, then I tried to checkout, and the website then said the item was out of stock and the item had been removed from my cart. When I try to add the "pink" option now, the site says immediately that it's out of stock.
Can you reset it for me and I'll try again?
it's been reset... please try again

Thanks Twisted - the order went through this time. I appreciate you taking the special effort to run off a pink tray for me. 
This is the last Hello Kitty clipart - I swear.

I could do that What color would you want?
Someone on Facebook said that you can remove and flip the USB ports if you wanted an internal version. I'm not sure how much truth there is to that though. I suppose if you got ports that were upside down from the external one so the pins were in reverse order that would work.

I have a 3d printer myself so I'd only need the file if that's ok. I was thinking about flipping the usb but the usb gdrom are so expensive I wasn't going to mess with it, besides that, I'm ok with the external hdd too.
Why is everyone so concerned with the heat on the USB GDROM? Doesn't the whole cooling system on the Dreamcast sit under a metal plate separate from this assembly and wouldn't it be completely unaffected by the the media setup?
I've added an "external" variant to the thingiverse page, so you basically just have a pocket with no USB port. I haven't tried printing one but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't fit.
let me know how it works out
The cooling fan is pretty much open to drawing air from the atmosphere with the gdrom removed instead of drawing it through the air intake vents at the back. It can only help to draw air in the way it was designed.
