BitFunx replacement shell for Dreamcast — image 37
Description complète

Dreamcast replacement shell: a new housing, in eight colours

The white plastic of the Dreamcast yellows, scratches and breaks at the screw points. This BitFunx replacement shell gives the console a new housing, in translucent plastic that shows the electronics, or in opaque black. Eight colours to choose from, for a restoration or a customised collector's console.

What it does

  • Replaces a damaged housing: yellowed, scratched or with broken screw posts.
  • Eight colours: clear, translucent black, translucent red, blue, purple, yellow and orange, or opaque black.
  • No-solder installation: you transfer the console's components from one shell to the other.

What it doesn't do

  • Only the housing is guaranteed to be included: plan to reuse the screws, buttons, springs and internal parts from your console.
  • It does not fix a drive or power supply fault: it is a cosmetic part.
  • The translucent colours show the inside, dust and cables included.

Compatibility

Home Dreamcast, standard model. It does not apply to the brand's other consoles or to machines derived from the Dreamcast (arcade cabinets, development kits).

Skill level required

Intermediate, no soldering. You need to open the Dreamcast (Phillips screwdriver), remove the drive, power supply, fan, motherboard and controller port board, then reinstall everything in the new shell, disconnecting and reconnecting the ribbon cables without forcing them. Photograph each step before disassembling.

In the box

  • 1 replacement shell, in the chosen colour.

The console is not included.

The job: moving a Dreamcast into a new housing

You open the console, photograph each step, remove the drive, power supply, fan and motherboard, then reinstall them one by one in the new shell, reconnecting the ribbon cables without forcing them. The console keeps its original electronics and gets a housing free of scratches and yellowing, in the chosen colour.

The part: a BitFunx shell, eight colours

BitFunx makes parts and accessories for retro consoles. This shell reproduces the shape of the home Dreamcast and comes in seven translucent shades, which show the electronics, and in opaque black for a more understated look. It is a cosmetic part: it changes how the console looks, not how it works.

The support: disassembling methodically

Have a Phillips screwdriver, a plastic spudger and a compartment box for the screws ready. The Dreamcast's internal ribbon cables are fragile: disconnect them without pulling on the wires. A question about your console or a colour? Our customer service replies within 1 business day.

Why buy here rather than on a marketplace

It is a fair question. Here is the answer, straight.

We verify, they list

Every listing is checked before publication: real compatibility, material, dimensions, box contents. Many models never make it into the catalogue.

Customer service that speaks French

A question about compatibility, a fit problem, a return: you write, a human replies within 1 business day. In French.

2-year legal warranty, 14-day returns

The 2-year legal warranty of conformity is handled by us — not by a form on the other side of the world. And 14 days to change your mind, with no need to justify yourself.

The price is comparable, the rest is not

We do not claim to be the cheapest. We claim that you will know exactly what you are buying before you pay.
