DREAMCAST NEWS: PC modder crams Blu-ray media computer into DC's lovely white case

The beautiful, chunky, solid, reliable and timelessly elegant casing of Dreamcast has been put to good use by some crazed PC modder, who's managed to fit a full PC - including Blu-ray drive and HDMI outputs - into its stylish little form. A form that was BETTER than the form of PlayStation2.

The controller ports round the front have been turned into USB slots, there's a 160GB hard drive and 2GB of RAM inside, plus it runs Windows XP for enhanced user satisfaction. More photos of its components can be found here, if you want to get emotional about Dreamcast. We can only hope the internal pieces of the original host Dreamcast were saved and treated with the respect they deserve.

Incidentally, today marks the 10th anniversary of the Dreamcast's launch in Japan, where it first went on sale on November 27, 1998. There will be an official three minute silence at 3.00pm today to mark the sad passing of what should've been the world's most popular games machine.
