    I recently received a Dreamcast, come to find it's rather sun damaged. I'd like to replace it's case with one in better condition (i.e no sun damage or major scratches). Does anyone have any Dreamcast spare parts or know where I could buy a replacement shell? Ideally, I'd be after an NTSC-J case, or American case (orange logo) or failing that, a PAL case, since I figure I could just swap the logo badges over. I figure with the auidence that Assembler keeps, there's gotta be afew of you who have non-working Dreamcasts they can scavenge a good-looking shell from :D Thanks!

    All new? Wow! How did you get new stuff? Are these genuine Sega parts you have? I would definitely be interested in a new case in excellent condition, along with either a modem or the shell of one since my modem is kinda sun-damaged too. And maybe a VMU shell and controller shells (including the little plastic bit at the end that plugs into the console) Oh, which region are these parts from? Let me know!

    That isn't sun damage. Hit up google for "retrobrite", you'll find a way to make it white again.

    I know about Retr0Bright (I've used it a few times before actually), but in this case, I'd prefer an original pristine case ;)

    I was looking for system parts and I ran across this site I have never ordered from them before so I can't comment on their service but they do have a white DC shell for $5 good deal and I doubt they would sell one that is sun damaged shell

    I found that store too, I wanted to ask them about their DC shells, but their email address is dead, and they didn't respond to my site message :\
