I made a quick draft of what a 3D printed case for this could look like. All I had to go on was measurements of my DC and pictures of the Sammy PCB though so not quite accurate. The Sammy PCB would be mounted at an angle and the RJ45 port sticking out at the top. Feasibility TBD.

An alternative approach is to use the original casing for the modem and route the ribbon cable through the gaps. Best option might be to route it to the back (needs a slightly longer cable) and build a separate case for the Sammy. Alternatively the Sammy could be placed under the Dreamcast by raising it (some kind of casing, risers, etc).

Anybody got any other ideas?

Very nice !
Thanks !
