Thx a lot! I've also asked the same question on Reddit, and this is the answer i've received:

What has me stumped is that it's a model produced by ASAHI Electron and as far as I am aware they only ever produced NTSC variants for the Japan and American markets until June 2000. They briefly produced a small number for the South Korean region in 2000, though that would have been NTSC too. If it has heat pipes I am thinking it could be a demo/kiosk type revision...


Hi, I was just looking around for some information on my Dreamcast kiosk console when I saw your (somewhat old) post.
I just want to tell you my Dreamcast has a barcode sticker too. Mine starts with "DE".
