I dunno if this belongs here or not, but....does anyone know where I can get a Blue or Transparent Blue DC case?
The place that sells them must be able to ship to the UK...anyone know a place??

I've seen them on http://www.lik-sang.com and they ship to the UK. They are based in Hong-Kong so shipping may be a bit pricey.

I have ordered things form them in the past and can recommend them.

I hope this helps

Congrats on the rating, I@N!!
Do they ship to the USA, too?

Thanks

I am 99% sure that they will ship to the USA as well.

I hope this helps

EDIT:

I've just checked Lik-Sang and it appears that they have sold out of blue cases

However it appears that this site also sells coloured cases;

http://www.playthegames.com/dreamcast.html

They do not say what colour cases they have, and it is not clear if they will ship to the UK (they are based in America), also I hve not dealt with this company before so I cannot say if they are reliable or not.

I hope this helps

I tried to get a blue case last month from lik sang and they were sold out then, but that's ok because I got the transparent black one and it's really cool (and it goes with the VGA box that they sell as well). High quality feel, too. Two pieces of advice though:

1. Have a hobby knife or box cutter to lift the dreamcast logo off the original case to put on the new one. Makes it look more official.

2. Either have strong wrists and arms or a drill with screwdriver attachments. Getting the screws into the case was the hardest part because the case was new (as it should be) and never had screws in it, meaning that the plastic would have no grooves for the screws to go in. And after the screws are in (and if you haven't stripped them in the process), turn your system on to make sure it works, and then leave it on so it can heat up (hopefully) making the screws expand into the plastic making future removal and insertion easier.

Have fun!

P.S. I'm in the USA just in case you were wondering.

I might not bother getting a new case now...I'm considering getting some two-tone spary paint, and spraying my DC with it...I think it would look cool

im just curious.........who the heck makes these cases anyway?

pkScary, it's probably the same companies which produce most unbranded generic third-party stuff. They all seem to come from factories in Hongkong; well, that's what I can gather from a friend who has family living in HK-- he always has a load of 3rd party gaming stuff

yea and some of that 3rd party stuff is trying to rip off another company. like a lot of retailers had bootleg pokemon toys.

I was thinking about buying a new lid for my Dreamcast. I wanted to know if anyone has seen one of those clear transparent lids (and if so how transparent are they) I think it would look cool on my sports black dreamcast. Maybe a transparent dark grey lid would be cool. (If you don't know, I'm talking about this: http://www.lik-sang.com/catalog/image_b ... ace&show=1

yea i think a lot of us has seen those, as lik-sang sponsors dcemulation and all of cheatlist. and yes, they would look cool on your sports dreamcast.
