Painted the ol' Dreamcast

Post by **SpongeBuell** » Sat Jul 22, 2006 4:45 pm

I recently saw somebody on AtariAge do this, (to a greater extent and with different colors) so I figured I'd have to give it a try myself. The first color I thought of was red. Red like a red car. A bright red. The more I thought of it, the better it seemed. Red is a very underused color for things like this, it seems. So, I grabbed some red spraypaint, took the thing apart, and painted away. Of course, the orange LED in there already would look bad, so I couldn't use that. Instead, I just hit good ol' radio shack and bought a blue LED. It's getting a little underpowered (3.3 volts instead of 3.7) but it still looks decent.

Ok, you can all compliment me now about the fabulous work I've done

In the wise words of Paris Hilton..."That's hot." I'll probably do something like this to one of my Dreamcasts, since I have 3. You're an inspiration to us all.

Nice mod. Took me a second to see that you changed out the power LED, and that you can still make out "SEGA" and "Compatible with Windows CE". You did one hell of a great job on painting that case.

I did this to mine, but with black instead of red, and I screwed up the buttons.
