The amazing glowing GC controller port mod

Now that's what we call a mod! Lacking satisfaction in his Wii's location of GameCube controller ports, CAG member hollowfreak decided to rearrange them. Not only that, but he made them as snazzy as that disc slot light, with a similar blue glow. Hands down, this is the best mod we've seen for the Wii yet.
Do you have a modded Wii? Have you seen a cool mod to the Wii or the Wiimote? Let us know!

He should produce this and sell it.

Looks pretty sweet, but id rather just plug the old gamecube back in then mess around with my wii. with a scart splitter on the tv, having both plugged in is not a problem for me.

as cool as it is, i'd say hands down, the best mod I've seen for the wii yet is the Wii Laptop...
have you forgotten it already?

That's pretty frickin' sweet. I'd buy it.

In my opinion -- this ruins the Wii. It's not nearly as slim as it had been, and having four big open ports on the front doesn't look nearly as sleek as it did. Sure, they shine, but, they're not easily covered.
Like #1 said, I'd rather just plug in my GC back in, or just deal with the normal ports - they're really not *that* inconvenient.

As nice as it looks, it does appear to nearly double the size of the Wii...

That's... actually pretty cool. Especially as a "mod" that seems to just plug in. I actually kind of like the GC-ish look it gives the system, although not as much the Wii's own sleek sexiness.

I think this is kind of lame. Can't you just buy GC controller extension cords? And like it has been said, it's not worth it to double the size of the Wii.
The blue LEDS are nice, though. Can never have too many of them.

Ouch... ugly mod imo. The wii is way too thick now... But indeed, power to the LEDs :)

Now the Wii is definitely a GameCube 1.5!

Now figure out how to embed a Game Boy Player into the base unit and you'll have one sweet mod.
