Dreamcast Case Mod

Post by Bush » Thu Mar 10, 2011 8:25 pm

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:

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?

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.
