Bit OT but just to confirm there is definitely a black case model. I picked up several E5000s on eBay some years ago and one is black, the others grey. Have had them apart for drive updates and there are other variations between models, e.g. on one of them (can't remember if this is the black one though) the volume pot & headphone socket are mounted on the same plate which is fastened with a single bolt, so when you plug in h/phones the whole lot flexes and threatens to disappear inside the machine. The others use a different system which is much sturdier.
