I was going to go with some artwork up the side, but im struggling to find anywhere local that can print something that big without it costing stupid amounts of money.

The base color is definately going to be red, with maybe black pinstriping if i can't find anywhere to get graphics done that big and the kickpanel at the front will be covered with diamond plating.

The marquee and control panel will both have graphics though.
 
I got my dreamcast in the post today! My first impressions are good, it's probably the best built console with the most thought out hardware of the generation. So far I've got the VGA box and following games for it:

Shenmue
Skies of Arcadia
Grandia 2
Crazy Taxi
Crazy Taxi 2
MDK 2
Super Runabout
Wetrix+
& Jet Set Radio

Lot's of hours of fun ahead!
 
Dreamcast was an awesome console, crazy taxi is immense!!! must get tokyo highway challenge too. i need to get me a boxed dreamcast but i have my heart set on a gamecube first with all the resi's, looking on the bay now but i cant find a boxed console that grabs me :(

Gamecube IMHO was the second most underrated console to exist only beaten by the dreamcast, DC was so ahead of its time!
 
Gamecube was very underrated zelda the windwaker was a brilliant game with nicely done graphics. Also used to love mario kart double dash spent hours on multiplayer Its a shame they never really did a decent mario platformer.
 
I'm thinking about putting a 21" monitor next to my pc monitor and hooking up a gamecube/dreamcast to it.

Anyone done something like this? It'll be through DVI or vga.
And also be able to connect some dual speakers to it aswell.

Been reading about the HD box pro. Anyone had any experience?

Impressive Resident Evil Collection mate!



I agree 100% with the Gamecube being underated, Great collection of games on the system. I think I may start collecting some more although the price of MGS:TTS is a bit of a put off, I already own Resident Evil 2 & 3 both snagged for a £10 each.

I've gained quite a bit to my collection I might have to re-upload a new set of photos :).
 
Tempted to get my old set out actually seeing this. Got a few SNES around, one I think doesnt work, but got 2 others that worked last I checked; one modded with 50->60Hz switch so you could play some games 'as intended'.

Here's my collection of SNES games :)




Think they all still work too, they did last I checked, although SF2 is possibly the most finicky game to get to come on ever (multiple cartridges and machines and the damn game still often needs a reseat)
