Howdy do.
A guy over here asked me to case mod his Dreamcast, and I'm currently working on it. I'm using pieces of polystyrene to form a shell over the DC. I'm done with that part, and I'm going to bondo the gaps and tidy it up. I will be painting it as well. Here's what I've done so far:

(Air vent-thing)

I used pieces of insulating foam to help make it rigid. It worked surprisingly well.

NOW ITS BONDO TIME

Nice!

Do you think you'd be able to clean up the SD card slot a little?

I can sure try; I'll probably add epoxy today.

How much is this costing him? I may be interested in your services

, if the price is right.

Around $80 USD sound alright?

I'll have to see this one finished before I can decide. Lookin' good so far, though!

Can't wait to see when it's finished

Sorry for slow updates, epoxy dries slow.

EPOXY TIME

I've been doing some epoxy work on the edges, I have to work slow because I cant do every edge at once or it will get screwed up. THIS EPOXY IS PURELY STRUCTURAL. I plan on putting bondo over this and making it look neat.

Ishmael1010 made this stencil, buy crap from him.

This is my Dreamcast.

The SD card unit inside is one of these:

Just on the inside of the system, and rewired to be front loading on the Dreamcast instead of sticking out the back.
