theoretically, yes if you were willing to cut some holes for the controller ports. I think there are some dreamcast laptops that have an ejecting drive as opposed to a flip top loading drive, and I've made a tray loading drive myself, but never got around to testing it out because it hase the old style gd-rom drive connector.
maybe I'll go see if my new DC has the old style connectors, and if it works I'll post some pics for you.

$100 !!! hope it came with some good stuff
If your looking to keep it fliptop-able your probably going to have to cut down the gd-rom drive assembly, because I'm assuming that your using a smaller dvd player.
