The Dreamcast Limited Edition thread

Yes, the blue casing is 3rd party remember seeing a lot of them on the internet a few years back. The stickers don't mean much you can easy glue them back on :)

but my DC has a black bottem half with ntsc-u markings and a matching pad hmmmmm?

It's an official replacement cover for Dreamcast. However it looks like someone got creative with the power and eject-buttons and replaced them with black ones instead of the grey ones. Probally the person 'making' this used a 'sports edition' Dreamcast for this.

I'm pretty sure it's Sports Edition, because the entire bottom part, controller ports and buttons are black, and it's an NTSC-U, so can only be a Sports Edition, unless it's painted of course. But that wouldn't make sense since Sports Editions sell so cheap:-)

I'm pretty sure the HK cases didn't have the markings - but the official Sega ones did. It may be an official Sega replacement shell... I can't remember the colours off hand though.

(it may also be that someone removed the original sticker and put it on a HK case as well...) Eitherway, it still looks great :)

EDIT:: Sorry! I didn't see the posts above (I was on page 3 I think!) and I thought I was at the end of the thread...

(me walks quietly away...)

Shit happens;-)

makes sense now lol so it still use's proper sega parts ect and modded in away that it looks far rarer to the untrained eye :)

just waiting on the matching pad for this now (clear blue/black) but now i know its just a very smart looking modded DC and nothing else (tbh it looked alot like the US sonic dreamcast minus sonic logo)

cheers guys :thumbsup:

I used to have an official Black replacement case. It was the top half only and everything was black including the buttons.

I sprayed the bottom half to match and it looked awesome. There used to be a thread about it on this forum but that was long before the purge, maybe some of the older members will remember.

[Froggydarren]

cool man really love another color as in red or yellow but my god i carnt find anything about them anywhere and when i find somthing the threads are 3 years + old :(

thh a black one would be cool also :0

[Borman]

What color is the bottom half? Sega sold replacement cases for the DC, sometimes only as a top half though.

Edit: Sorry for the redundancy. It only loaded the first 3 or so comments for me the first time.

[Froggydarren]

lol no probs man....its black with NTSC-U stickers ect but heres a odd thing its a REV-0 model MB with heat pipes man this DC is strange!!!! weren't they the first batch of dreamcast's released????

[billcosbymon]

I've been trying to track down replacement case for a while now. Does anyone know where to get one, It doesn't matter if it's first or third party I just want one really bad.

might sell this one soon to put towards a rather nice dreamcast that iv been after foe years now :)

Were there ever official (or unnofficial) solid color cases as opposed to the transparent ones? I'd love a solid black or a solid silver top half for my sports DC...
