****This is not a sponsored video I purchased this shell with my own money***
Thanks for watching!
The ice cube!
Love the video. Just thought I might clarity, there's a transparent shell called "icedcube" which fits full sized CDs. I believe manufacturing for them stopped years ago, so they are quite rare.
I was looking for a video of the aliexpress clear case, but initially wasn't going to watch your video, cos I thought it was about the iced cube case. However, I noticed the disc tray door wasn't the larger full sized CD version that the icedcube shells are known for.
For anyone attempting this, when you get to the reassembly phase, be very careful with how you put the lid on - there are 2 little switches at the back that detect when the lid is open or not (for firing up the drive and laser) and if you're heavy handed or in a rush you can easily break one or both of them 💔
Thank you!
What’s the proper way to avoid damaging it. I broke it on my first attempt without warning. Now have to wait until I get new piece for it 😢
Didn’t see this comment and broke my lid switch 😅 SUPER IMPORTANT
@@danielkhaleck9412 all you have to do is install the top part of the case with the lid open, just replaced mine and installed top correctly no problems 👍
Excellent job man. Looks great. I might pick one up.
Thank you! It's a very nice high quality shell definitely get one if you have a chance
Looks amazing I want an ice cube to go with some lemonade haha
Looks awesome! Great was to repurpose the franken-cube :)
Thanks definitely nice to give an old beat up cube new life
You made that look insanely easy! A real satisfying process to watch thank you for the breakdown
This was really fascinating to watch! the shell looks hella cool! thanks for sharing! 😊
Will love To see more swaps
That’s super dope!
Great job on the swap!
Well done mate 👍
Excellent!!!
That is awesome man! Looks amazing :) definitely more stuff like that for the channel. Great work and great content as always
Great video man also how the movie and with your family too how it go?
Thanks! And we we went last weekend. Absolutely loved it! So many great Easter eggs. I was so happy to see Dixie Kong make her on screen debut too! We're you able to check it out yet?
@@theconsolecollector that great to hear that man and yeah it great to see Easter egg in that movie also yeah it great to see Dixie kong in that movie as will and oh yes mabye I will trying to do that sometime with my sister but no problem man
Damn bro that’s clean nice job 👊
Good job! Looks nice!
That’s really nice.
I’ve just picked up a beaten blue GC and I was contemplating giving it a re-spray.
This looks really good though and I might get a purple one to pay homage to the Grape N64 I used to own.
Great video, thanks for supporting this product!
It's a great item very happy with
Nice, I Just finished putting the translucent purple shell on my gamecube, looks nice,
will be getting custom stickers, for the bottom. these shells are pretty good, and happy they have started to make them
That's pretty cool. I want to get one
It looks so cool, good job putting it together bro. I also agree, these imo are better to do swaps for consols that have seen better days and need a re vamp to bring it back, dead stock in great condition i wouldnt bother
It would be a shame to shell swap a mint console. Thanks for stopping by and watching!
This is great, thanks Mike.
I want to eat it ice cube 😂
I would buy one if I had to skill to do the swap
It’s easy, watch some videos on how to take it apart
I order this one today can't wait to get it this is just beautiful👍😮
Where do you get that new nintendo medallion? Is that included with the shell?
I like it.
I hope they start making these for the gameboy player.
Never had a GC, my father-in-law is a Commercial Front end trash loader in the Metro Detroit area.
GameStop and other Electronic stores, Save all PCs and systems off to the side for him to bring home lol.
Just got a Silver DOL-001 from him, purchased a cheap cable set from Amazon, and it works!
Got HELDERS PICOboot FlatPCB to install this weekend, the Serial Port for the SD card is on the MotherBoard but it's NOT Populated with the actual Port.
Either Way: I've Never had a GC so I was Trying to find a Clear Replacement Shell, They are Freaking Expensive!
I wanted one $20 Years ago for my OG Xbox, but I couldn't fork over $100 then. Now I'm Too Cheap lol
That's a small fan I wish they can make a gamecube #2 and make it more powerful and economical
Wonderful video 🧊♡
Sick!!!
Hey I have the same little work mat, isn’t it pretty great? This legit looks almost the same was I’ve done some GBA video tare downs, almost identical with the fast forwards too lol. Great job I haven’t seen a clear GC but always wondered if shells exist. You’ve got a sub from me :)
Great minds think alike! The mat is so good! I really appreciate the sub! I'll be sure to stop by your channel and see you do some work :)
@@theconsolecollector come back to this comment and tell me it doesn’t look super similar 😂
@@theconsolecollector did you check it out 😅
Did new rubber feet come with the new shell?
excellent
You forgot to put in the dust filter on the side of GameCube
Does it have clear fat ps2 shell looking for one
How do you fix the faceplate? I mean I don't know what to do with the adhesive, it's got only one side which is sticky
I had to get my own double sided tape to stick on the jewel
@@theconsolecollector I actually figured it out, it's also a double side tape, it's not very noticeable but it is, worked perfectly 😁
@ actually I thought mine was messed up haha
How do u remember which screws go where 🤔
My day job is working with cars, lots of clips, nuts, bolts and screws. Hundreds. So it's no issue doing a simple game console :)
@@theconsolecollector how long u been working on consoles
@@monsterstorm78 id day well over 10 years now. I had to teach myself to keep these old consoles alive
@@theconsolecollector for shure indeed ☺️😁
@@theconsolecollector u ever put Led lights in the GameCube yet
prety
Quedo genial
1:42 My guy, you just placed them on the table
For videos like this, end with plugging it in and showing it working.
you're gonna see every spec of dust that collects inside, sir
Get an electric screwdriver. A must for any modder.
It looks frozen
I used this as a tutorial to shell swap mine to spice orange, thank you, great video 🙏🏻
Awesome happy to help. The spice orange is a nice color!
judging from your video, those are some damn high quality shells! Especially for the price, i thought it'd be at least $100, those dreamcast ones are about that and more. How does it hold up? Is it as high quality in reality?
The quality is actually really good. Feels like OEM honestly. I was expecting junk but was pleased with the overall quality
