    Aww, my dreamcast just died, no picture or sound at all, balls.

    Need a 'new' one. Anyone know the best place to pick one up? Just the system really. Have everything else to hand.
    :(

    Adverts.
    Gumtree.
    Donedeal.
    CEX.
    eBay.
    That RAGE shop in Dublin (that I heard is a bit of a rip off).

    That's all I can think of.

    Thanks! Cex sell dreamcast systems? Had no idea. The RAGE I just wouldn't buy a system from them, handy an all but expensive. Adverts not too much on there right now. I'll have a look on the other two now. Thanks for the reply!

    I really just need the innards, I did a paint job on the shell myself a while back, so it doesn't matter how it looks really as long as its in all good working order, ya know yourself :)

    It's a long shot, but really depends on the shop.

    Yeah, "out of stock".

    Hope you find one!

    I might have a VGA modded one on offer in the Marketplace soon.
    If that'll be of any use to you.

    There's a common fault with it overheating that's a total doddle to fix. I can't remember as I did it about 10 years ago but look it up online only took me 5 minutes to do.

    Thanks for that. But I already got my replacement last week, not to worry :)
