This is possibly one of the most interesting coolest mods I've seen. A CGCC forum member, Logicdustbin created this wonder. He basically gutted a what appears to be a iMac G3 (bondi blue, released May 1998, discontinued January 1999, original price $1,299), completely removing the tiny motherboard from it, and removed as well the not so tiny, in fact huge CRT monitor guts. He replaced the CRT promptly with a LCD screen, and then mounted the Dreamcast upside down near where the motherboard use to be. I am not exactly sure, but I think that mounting a Dreamcast upside down might be bad for it's GD-ROM drive. Bad for the Dreamcast or not, it's still IMO a awesome mod. I'd personally love to do this with my bondi blue iMac G3 that I have lying around, but I probably would just break both my Dreamcast and the iMac (I think I'll just sell the iMac to someone for $30). I think ill just keep my Dreamcast hooked up to my HDTV, and continue to save up for a VGA to HDMI adapter...

Here is a youtube video of it working...




And here is a vid of how Logicdustbin loads games into his iCast, and a general shot of that area...





The only thing missing is the obligatory Dreamcast swirl, he should make a sticker of one and stick it on the side of the case. You know like the apple stickers that come with apple products... Only this time it would be a Dreamcast swirl sticker of awesomeness!

Ah my first post, I figured I might as well get this blog rolling with my first post. My aim of my blog will most likely be of Classic Sega related stuff + whatever else that peeks my interest and that I feel like sharing on my blog. I probably wont post much of new Sega stuff as I don't really like the direction of Sega is going. Pretty much after the fall of the Dreamcast, I've not liked the direction the company went. If they happened to make something that I like and find of interest and post it.

But anyways here's a video of the anime Red Photon Zillion, off of Youtube. I love this song, and it brings back memories of my child hood of playing the Sega Master System game Zillion (and not knowing what the hell to do in it, and losing track of all the codes I need to memorize for it).

For lyrics (Japanese and English translated), click on the video to go to the videos page in a new window/tab and see the video description.
