What colour cases do you use for your Dreamcast collection?

I've been thinking about casing up some of my dreamcast games, but I want them to look good. I like how the Wii games are in white cases and have a nice color scheme, and since the Dreamcast covers are mostly white, that might be a good uniform look, but I've also seen some collections in black cases.
What are people here using? White? Black? Other? Clear? Post your pics!

Ha ha. Me too.
I've thought about converting my DC games to DVD cases, but I ended up deciding to stick with the original cases since my entire DC collection is CIB with the exception of one game.
However, if I was going to go with DVD cases, I would probably either go with white or orange. I would consider black, but only with a very specific DC template that uses black. I don't have it handy at the moment, but I've seen several DC covers here using it.
My Saturn and Sega CD games are all in DVD cases right now (white for Saturn and blue for Sega CD) and they look great, but I'm happy with my DC games in clear jewel cases.

I collect games for my personal enjoyment and not for the money. However, one day my game collection will go to my daughter or maybe even her kids (she's only 6 years old right now). I hope she gets good money for my collection. The cover project is great for making cases for games that didn't come in cases or replacing damaged covers. However, for consoles that had cases for their games (Genesis, TG-16, NEO GEO AES, DS, 3DS, Saturn, Dreamcast, SEGA CD), I want the original covers.
I've seen people on TCP, take their authentic PS1, DC, Saturn, etc... give or throw away the original Jewel cases & inserts, in favor of DVD cases. Their collections were worth thousands of dollars but are now worth hundreds.

Problem is many of mine don't have the jewel cases or guides, so I'm not worried about losing that.
