I use Goo Gone for removing stickers as well as cleaning the outsides of carts. It works well, and you can buy it at lot of dollar stores.

Goo Gone is good, but I will caution you that it isn't as suitable for labels; it has a tendancy to take those off as well, or at least damage the ink on them.

Love this Home Depot stuff, LIFT OFF.
Great on DVD cases with any price tag or sticky label.

Works on everything except Jewel Cases (Brittle Hard Clear Plastic) which will fog.
Believe it or not, PAM works on the Jewel Cases, always one in the kitchen:

Its heavy duty stuff great for cleaning. Just avoid labels you want to save. Don't use Lift-Off on Brittle Clear Plastic from Jewel Cases.

What about discolourations, though?
Like, my Dreamcast and SNES are very yellowed, what's the best way to get that back to it's original color? Is there a way?

Actually, if you take the time to search the forums, some of the guys figured out a way to bleach your yellowed computer equipment a while back. Here's a link to one of the discussions:AARST wrote:What about discolourations, though?
