Mine appears to be Model HKT 3000. Also, the fan on this DC is awfuly loud. Is this normal for JPN DC's?

Holy crap that's loud! :lol: my DC doesn't sound like that. What I mean from loud is that it has a disinct humming sould that's louder than anything my other DCs produce.

I think that's normal

I would suggest buying from hit-japan on ebay

Always make an offer, I've gotten games for 2 to 8 dollars less than he was asking for, but he always makes a counteroffer

So I just got the Dreamcast and he forgot to tell me that it didn't have the cords for the tv either. So does the av out on an american system work or do I have to order a Japanese one?

No problem, the cable will work. Maybe get Dreamcast VGA box for all the outputs of Composite, SVideo and VGA.
