Anonymous Sat Jul 30 20:27:52 2022 No.9134262

Why are literally all replacement shells disgusting-looking gaudy faggot colors? God forbid I just want a replacement shell that looks the same as the original. I don't want some neon blueberry NES or Saturn for fucks sake.
If you're into that, good for you, but why are there literally ZERO options for stock-looking replacement cases?

oh i dont know kek i dont like any of those of those colours, think id only ever get something like that in clear or clear black, id assume the chinks make them like that because they dont think people would buy them if theyre the same as the originals

I need a replacement top case for my GameCube.
When I was moving out my parents let my cousin play on my GameCube, he tart-raged, ripped open the disc cover and "they tried to fix it" but it ended up fucking up the entire top.

I only found one Etsy seller asking 170$ for custom made ones, and an Ebay seller with OG ones for 30$, but I'd enjoy an unique yet not-bank-breaking one.

I got a couple from China, and they seem okay but I have not tested their composition. I wouldn't even know how to measure its toxicity but cats don't seem to appreciate its smell.

>>9134397
There is no place in direct sunlight some kid here won't just take the shell or destroy it for no reason. Either that or someone would assume it was litter and throw it away.

you cant get them easily anymore they dont make them but you might have luck on ebay, there were two types one called icedcube and the other was viper shell, i wish the chinks would start making them, i think burning and playing from a disc is nicer than sd loading

they look like shit kek, ive been using normal cd cases for my burned games it doesn't look too bad but the ps1 cases are nice, yeah it sucks theyre so expensive i assume they all really old stock or something
>>9138682
if you want to cannibalize a shell you should look at importing a console from japan atleast here it works out way cheaper than buying locally/ from ebay. there are dreamcast shells on aliexpress but they cost more than the console

See I would go to Aliexpress but its Chinese-Owned, and I'd rather not deal with that. As for importing, I don't know. There's shipping from Japan, Customs, and then waiting. Plus I'd be taking a working Dreamcast out of the market. The one down here is at least $30 and is apparently truly dead, just worth it for parts.
