Guy custom builds totally clear Nintendo GameCube

[tapedeck]

All the parts were hand made out of acrylic, end result is really gorgeous IMO.

 

[bdwnfn99]

I want it. I want it badly.

If this can be done, then a functioning GameSphere is technically feasible.

Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

Personally, I'd like a DreamCube or a GameCast myself.

 

[HammerOfThor]

Haven't you been able to buy custom cases for ages now? Or am I thinking of something different?

 

[Preble]

Bithead is really talented with this kinda stuff. He made a fish tank Super Nintendo too!

 

[eXistor]

Looks cool now, but that's gotta be hell to clean. Dust is gonna stick on the inside and it's gonna look like shit in a few weeks probably.

You can but they are just the shell mostly. This looks like everything that can be made acrylic has been.

Would be great to buy one though.

 

[MisterSnrub]

If this is possible then a duct tape case is too

 

[Nolbertos]

Well damn, now I want my own clear Gamecube.

Yeah you can buy clear cases but this guy made all the little moving parts clear as well which is pretty impressive.

What they said.

This is kinda hypnotic to watch at 2x.

 

[Speevy]

I'll pay this guy to make me a Nintendo Switch.

 

[WellbornWarrior]

I wonder if the incoming light could interfere with the disc reader.

 

[LuxCommander]

Killer build! But why would you leave a game in there while disassembling it? Sad that it's my takeaway from the vid, because it's a gorgeous custom case.

Hmmm never thought of this..no idea.

 

[Taco_Human]

Where does the gameboy player go?

 

[Joltik]

Now this is my kind of transparent console. Completely clear, as opposed to the "cloudy" clearness you usually see on transparent consoles.

I admit, I was nervous when he was cutting all these small parts for the top and lid. One wrong move and it would have been the end for his digits.

 

[night814]

Awesome stuff, I wish I was more creative and able to do this sort of stuff. I'd love to mod and paint my stuff to look cooler

 

[squidyj]

but I can still see it.

 

[Alek]

I'm surprised we don't see a lot more people doing this.

Like why don't companies offer to make custom cases for modern consoles? I think they'd make a lot of money doing cool shit like swapping the default casing for transparent.

it's probably down to molding work being expensive, i randomly came across a custom build Dreamcast shell the other day and i think that was like $200 alone so these things probably won't be cheap to sell either

SPHERICAL!

 

[Anthony Hopkins]

Thats really cool, but aren't the metal enclosures important?

Would be cool if done for the XSX.

 

[Breqesk]

 

[TheMadTitan]

He also turned an NES into a fish tank.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

It's what Magneto requested when he got tired of chess.

Ha I was wondering that as well as he was tossing them over his shoulder during the teardown. And yeah I feel like XSX is perfect for this.

 

[Santerestil]

But seriously, the guy even made a trasparent NES and a SNES fish tank, my respects.

I found this fascinating, thank you for sharing.

 

[blame space]

[T002 Tyrant]

Slightly disappointed, thought that circuitboards would have been transparent too and they'd made transparent metal compatible for transistors etc.

Ah well a see through case is still okay I guess... 😜

 

[McScroggz]

I'm disappointed because I can totally still see the GameCube.

 

[SturokBGD]

This is obviously the greatest video game channel in the history of human civilization.

 

[goonergaz]

I love it, but I think I love the Panasonic Q more.
