So, I ordered the purple Dreamcast from NCSXshop.com and it got here today. I got home and installed my old Dreamcast in it. And let me tell you... wow does it look sweet. Works perfectly.
It's a translucent purple case, so you can see the disc spinning inside and everything. I took the old Dreamcast sticker off the top of the burnt one and put it on this one. Wow. I am truly impressed with this.
For anyone thinking of doing it (it's pretty easy), there are a lot of screws you need to take out. Probably 30 total. And, of course, you need to put them back in. But it's really not too hard. The Dreamcast comes apart in layers, and goes back in the same way.
The hardest part was getting the new modem cover on, which took me probably 15 minutes. The entire rest of the installation was probably 15 minutes. So about a half hour combined. Completely worth it.
I'm thinking about buying the mod chip for the Dreamcast. It's $25 and it's a four-wire solder job which will make the Dreamcast able to play <b>all</b> imports without having to worry about a boot disc. Cool!
