Dreamy Dreamcast Turned PC
GEARFUSE — ... SEGA Saturn case mod, the crew of Akiba PC turned their attention towards the late, great SEGA Dreamcast. What resulted is the dreamiest Dreamcast ever. With a Sony Blu-ray drive, an AMD mini-ITX mainboard with 780G Chipset, an ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics, HDMI output, 4GB RAM and 160GB storage; this computer is lookin’ cooler than any Alienware . The controller ports have even been replaced with USB ports. Neat, huh? So much for playing Shenmue on it, though. Link [ via ]
