    Hi Modders,

    I'm looking to get one of my dreamcasts modded heavily. Who here does the best/cleanest work? Or if you know someone or somewhere else these can be done you'd recommend i'd appreciate that information.

    Here's a list of a couple of the mods I may want so far: (Let me know if i've missed anything :p)

    * Region Free
    * Internal VGA
    * VGA Switch
    * Reset Switch
    * Internal SD
    * Overclock Switch
    * Vertical Battery

    Also any other work that may keep the unit running strong, EG: Internal battery replacement, random reset prevention, greased up drive gears, check controller fuse, and so on ... Pretty much a complete over-haul!

    Let me know how much something like this may cost and what my options are, thanks!

    Location?
    If you'd like to have the overclock, remember to opt for an additional 12v fan on the back to be sure it doesn't fry.
    (even though you'd have a watercooled version or not)

    I use overclocked DC but it survives without the fan so far...
    from memory I didn't overclocked to the max but rather more stable one

    I'm located in California, USA. If there's different levels of overclocking that prevent me from attatching any large peripherals then i'll opt for that level but if it's really a must then I may pass on the overclock altogether. I really want this to be a clean looking dreamcast after it's all done.

    If he's the highest recommended then I wouldn't mind sending it to him abroad. I just don't want a hack n slash job.

    Still looking for someone to handle the list of mods at the top. Any help in finding the right person for the job would be appreciated!
