    Default Deamcast Replacement Cases

    I saw a couple of auctions like these and I was wondering if it's easy or not to put these on and take the original ones off. I might buy one, if it's easy enough, or I might just Stick with my regular other one.

    Thanks.

    DO NOT put a long screw where a short screw goes, or your DC motherboard will never output video again.

    Arr.. matey- you be warned says I, fare thee well.

    omnedon is totally 100% right....keep track of what screw goes where, and you'll be fine. I spent nearly a week troubleshooting my DC after swapping cases. Turns out I had a long screw where a short one was supposed to be, and I had no video. Luckily the whole motherboard wasn't fried.

    Default .

    i did mine in less than half an hour at first attempt.
    I simply grouped the screws according to their size and put back together as I pulled apart...

    but then I've been doing these sort of things a lot...

    cheers
