Here's mine. Clear Katana and Blue Whiisper fan. I kept the blue front slot to match the fan. The slot covers were also kinda warped, so they're not on. And I swap SDs often enough that that one would get in the way anyways.

How hard are Wiis to mod? New cases I'd imagine aren't too much harder than my DS case mods but ar ethe fancy LED fans hard to fit?

their pretty tricky if you want a real case mod not a sticker you have to dismantle your whole wii and put it back together again in the new case and there's a lot of screws to keep track of all different sizes.

I suppose there'd be a lot more than in my DS... I'm really tempted to do this though my parents would probably never let me do it (the only reason i got to do my DS was that I broke the hinge). A Black Wii would be awesome.

Would prefer a case, stickers are fiddly and would never look as good. Never opened up a proper home console before in my life though so not too sure of what to expect... I'll watch some disassembly videos sometime.

here's a video showing how to dissasemble wii http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8epujddQTc , note you need a special trwing together with a normal screwdriver after you've done that you just need to do the same in the opposite way with the new case

dealextreme had a bunch a while ago, I think they might be sold out but you can have a look.

www.superufo.com sells various replacement shells, but I've never ordered from them so I can't say if they are good or not.

  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
