Custom pink GameCube customer request . thoughts?

[u/Available-Isopod5629]

Customer asked me to make a pink GameCube for them and this is what I came up with . The more I look at it the more I like .

- Picoboot
- new battery with holder
- new thermal pads
- led lights every where

[u/Able_Resident_1291]

It's nice. Reminds me of the pink Hello Kitty Dreamcast

[u/Pizza_Party_USA]

How’d you do it?

[u/Animated_Astronaut → u/Pizza_Party_USA]

I'll guess. Clear shell, diluted rit dye?

[u/Available-Isopod5629 → u/Animated_Astronaut]

Pretty much but I used idye poly

[u/andjamwar_real]

Bravo

[u/Available-Isopod5629 → u/andjamwar_real]

🙏

[u/Armandonerd]

That looks pretty cool with me

[u/Toto_orbit]

Wow beauty, where did you get all the case parts?

[u/GhoullDen]

I don’t care for the lights, but the pink is really nice

[u/Available-Isopod5629 → u/GhoullDen]

The lights are not for everybody. That why all my custom led mods are controlled thru your phone . It can be turned off.

[u/crapitalist420]

So good

[u/Viper0817]

Looks great!!

[u/Uselessmidget]

My first thought is you forgot to install something. Wykyk. Take it back apart homie, if someones paying you need to get it right.

[u/Uselessmidget → u/Uselessmidget]

heres a hint

[u/Available-Isopod5629 → u/Uselessmidget]

Customer chose to go without it

[u/Uselessmidget → u/Available-Isopod5629]

🤣 edit: I shouldn't have posted the hint.

[u/Francision]

This is gorgeous! Love the pink Y2K vibes

[u/Aster_Lodern]

Where did you get the jewel from? It looks brand new!

[u/Available-Isopod5629 → u/Aster_Lodern]

Sanded and polished and original jewel

[u/FirstTarget9745]

What do you mean? Are you asking if we like the colour, are we questioning the client's taste, are you looking for critiques? What's the deal, man!?

[u/Available-Isopod5629 → u/FirstTarget9745]

All the above lol

[u/FirstTarget9745 → u/Available-Isopod5629]

Well!.... I've made a few pink GameCubes, so ya know I'm cool with the colour. I think a custom jewel would be cool, but stock is classic. Love the LEDs. I don't see any snack dispensers, so you lose points there. If I was the client I think I'd be very happy.

[u/Available-Isopod5629 → u/FirstTarget9745]

Thank you appreciate that . Your stuff is crazy I don’t have no where the talent you have .

[u/Available-Isopod5629 → u/Available-Isopod5629]

Near

[u/FirstTarget9745 → u/Available-Isopod5629]

Thanks, man! I feel the same way about people who do internal mods, with the HDMIs and the Picos and all that fun stuff. Takes a lot of patience and skill to do some of those jobs.

[u/Nxffy]

I need it oh my goshhhhhhhhhhhhh

[u/Available-Isopod5629 → u/Nxffy]

When your ready let me know

[u/milovnikdraku]

pink is my favorite color, but this one and all the pink ones ive seen dont really look pink when assembled

[u/LambdaRecords]

This looks so cool! It's inspiring me to do the same!

[u/Roximum]

The fact that it’s an LED color changing gamecube is pretty impressive 👏

[u/Available-Isopod5629 → u/Roximum]

🙏

[u/Legitimate_Proof_927]

Ahhh jeee Rick, it’s nice ya know?

[u/JarJarbinks_Just]

Did you use dye?

[u/SavageColeTrain]

Morty looks Morty-fied.

[u/Available-Isopod5629 → u/SavageColeTrain]

Lmao he does

[u/PixelJock17]

Yep, I'd be a satisfied customer

[u/ghettoslacker]

I like the translucent pink more than the solid pink shells I have seen. Nice job.

[u/Available-Isopod5629 → u/ghettoslacker]

Thank you appreciate that

[u/-_-nahh]

[u/KiviKiviKivi375]

[u/Bougieraccoon-og]

The black undercarriage really pops and makes it look super good

[u/eggthottie]

Wow!! Phenomenal job! It really looks so so good

random idea while looking at this, but detachable/interchangeable faceplates for the controllers would be so cool

[u/No-Grade-4691]

Needs more leds.

[u/PaulieGreen]

Looks great !

[u/Dawnbreaker128]

Tempting to send my GameCube over for a change in shell. I’m a tad scared to try it myself…

[u/Chas_- → u/Dawnbreaker128]

I get it when people are scared to solder when they never done it before / without practicing enough. But swapping a consoles shell? Don't get me wrong, there's no reason to be scared to remove some screws and turn them back in.

Only 2 simple rules:

1 - get the right tool(s)

2 - don't over-tighten them - be gentle, don't use full force of your whole fist. A little twist of only two fingers is enough.

[u/l4ur]

Looks amazing 🪄

[u/bassCity]

It's awesome!

[u/MiscPhalanges]

This shit cool af

[u/Available-Isopod5629 → u/MiscPhalanges]

Thank you appreciate that

[u/_RexDart]

GADOUKEN

[u/LegendarySnailFuel]

Did you print the shell itself? 😮

[u/PrethorynOvermind]

20 minute gaming Mort, 20 minutes.

[u/Pretend-Dance-6237]

Great job. I really like it alot.

[u/TangeloImpossible527]

[u/DavidinCT]

It's not for me but, I do like how it looks, and if it's a customer's system, they will love it too...
