Gamecube - Indigo to white

XenoGC 2.0 chip, USA/JP switch (needs a new switch, it fits in the hole you see in the fan grill - old one broke). Styled after the FF:CC model.

Pardon the poor iPhone photos. My DSLR is on the other side of town. :/







Comprehensive paint job, all surfaces covered except a few interior corners (didn't want to waste paint). There's a few blemishes, but I'm satisfied. Didn't want to spend any more time on it than I needed.



I'm planning another less-traditionally-colored paint job in the future. I'm not sure what I want to do it on, though... I'm thinking another 'cube is in order.

 

Whoops, totally forgot to put on the stickers. Yes, I ruined the big silver bottom one. Heat gun slipped and got too close. Oh well, it was the first time I've ever tried to take a sticker off. Should have practiced beforehand.

 

Nice, looks like the real thing. Are the white ones rare in the US that it's worth painting it yourself? I see them for sale all the time for around €10 (console only). I even got mine for €5.

 

Hmm I'm not aware of a US release for the white Gamecube.

If I understand correctly...
Japanese model is DOL-001 (component AV port)
PAL model is DOL-101

 

DOL-001 was first model with digital port

DOL-101 was later model with the digital port removed

...or so I have been told

 

Don't think we got white, just silver.

Joke must be on me, I didn't know there was a standard white release, I only knew of the FF boxed set and the Hanshin Tigers (striped white) one.

I forgot to take a picture of it powered-on... I changed the power LED from the amber/orange to bright green. It looks super sweet.

Another note: the ATi sticker on the front was peeled-off when I got the system (was my first cube, a friend gave it to me when the laser died many years ago). Oh well!

 

Because the standard white release was PAL only.

Japan's are that fancy FF set.

 

Very cool. I have a creme colored gamecube myself and I think it looks pretty neato. Here's a pic:

 

That's really nice, I like the red button : )

 

There's a lesser known third revision. DOL-001 with the digital port, minus serial port 2.

 

That looks awesome! Great job with the stickers.

 

Lol, well I actually wanted the power button to be red, but I accidentally painted the reset button. Decided to just leave it be.

 

add in mainland Europe only then?
the UK only got white as a Mario Smash Football limited edition and that was more of a pearl white.

I know mainland Europe had some that the UK didn't, like the tales of symphonia green one
