They all sound kind of cool, but I would have to see examples of the color schemes.

Color?!?

Who needs color anyways? I think the DC looks damn sexy in white! Just like many a system before its time (PC Engine, Turbo Duo R, PS1, PC Engine FX, Saturn ?? ect.) Who agrees? L8r.

I can tell you from personal experiance... Black makes a good color for the main body. Black goes with most everything so blue, red, yellow or silver would look just fine with it.

I'm still undecided on what I'm going to do with the gray bits that are left on my dc... (the controller plug area and power/open buttons) I'm thinking I MIGHT do those in a gloss black to offset the textured matte black I got on the rest of it. But for now the stock gray looks pretty darn good. I'd pulls the gray background of my dreamcast logo back into the total package too... where as any other color may make it seem out of place.

Well if I had an extra case and about $15 for sprays (good sprays are expensive here) I would spray the DC in the most original way possible, meaning trying not to follow any of the mentioned comments, especialy those that said 'like mine', also I would give it some graphical effects, like spraying an Orange/Blue DC logo, something like that. :wink:

Whatever you do, make sure, that your DC, is YOUR designed style.

By original, don't fllow, but set stadnrads, find new ways. :wink:

I tried to be original when I was painting my machine. I had seen many black dreamcasts before and thought they looked good (but were so overdone) so I decided to spray the main part of the case black and the lid a dark blue. Coupled with a very nice blue LED I think it looks quite good ;)

Spraypaint whatever you want on it. Slogans, pictures, blobs of color. Then put it on ebay as a special Jet Grind/Set Radio edition DC.
