The big logo I've seen done a bunch of times and the LED's has been done to death but beyond that and a little paint there ain't nothing that really grabs my attention.

Looks nice but.
Anything more than cosmetic changes and he would only be limiting the potential buying audiance, as well as creating a higher failure rate for the hardware. Sure, I'd like one of the GC memory slots to be internal with a 16x card and the controller ports all internal wavebird, but it might just confuse the next guy, and god forbid something happen to that card or controller, the buyer will be calling demanding a refund when it quits working a year from now whether it was your mod work that shorted or not.

Also his result is pretty damn far beyond a little paint and LEDs. Honestly, you don't have to be cooler than everything on the internet to hang out.
Yeah good point, I guess I didn't think of the fact that someone might buy the thing who might not be able to appreciate the idiosyncrasies of a heavily modded machine.

However just because I've seen better doesn't mean that I think that I'm cool. A couple of minutes on google and you can find a plethora of mods in all shapes and sizes, anybody can do a google search cool or not .

Oh and by the way I don't have to try to be cool ,I was born cool ( continues wanking )

The only way to deactivate the ray beam and fight back the vampire alien threat is with a complicated series of foot patterns on the device's control board that looks remarkably like a DDR pad. We will all praise this man for saving our lives and buy him a mountain of stuffed animals.

Wow... I haven't liked a lot of case mods I've seen lately but that is lovely.

The only reason I can console myself with not being able to own that Wii is that the colours would stick out like a sore thumb against the rest of my furniture! :)
