Transparent GameCube and purple GameBoy player reshell... are these rare?

I recently did a transparent GameCube reshell along with an atomic purple GameBoy player. Anyone here into modding old consoles? Just wanted to share how it turned out!

ClearCube and Purple Boy.

That Game Boy Player is awesome! I used to spend hours playing GBA games on my GameCube.

It looks beautiful. I miss my GameCube :frowning:

The transparent prison TVs really do go with the aesthetic. Were they hard to find?

They were goodwill finds and just kind of happened, so it wasn’t too hard to get them. I’m still on the lookout for a transparent green Zenith CRT, though I haven’t had any luck.

From what I can see, Zenith also made a translucent atomic purple one! I found one on eBay, but they’re asking $540 for it.

I can’t imagine shipping one of those would be fun… but I’m definitely keeping an eye out for both of them.

Why did they ever stop making console versions like these? I find them really cool.

It’s actually a little more expensive to make translucent plastic than opaque plastic. Companies go for cheaper options, and now everything just looks like a cable box.

why is there adult stuff in this forum :nauseated_face:

They should bring back transparent plastic devices!

Where’s my clear filament? I want to make one!

Oh, that’s SICK!!! :DDD

Very cool. I’d love my old PS3 with a clear shell.

The best system

Pre-LED lights everywhere, stuff was transparent.

Very nostalgic.

That looks cool

Smash Bros Melee. Still the best game ever made, IMO.

Looks really cool!
