Super Mario Galaxy mod reaches for the stars [update 2]

Mamma mia, that's a nice mod.
We'd expect no less from the ever-so-incredible Morpheon Mods crew, who've put together quite a nice collection of Wiis for us to gawk at. The Super Mario Galaxy theme of this particular mod, though, helps it rank as our favorite of the bunch.
The LEDs are a nice touch, especially the ones in the back-lit marquee, and we approve of the various sounds they've rigged to the console. We also like the twinkling stars effect -- simply awesome.
All in all, it's a stunning mod that can be yours if you have deep pockets, since it's up for auction on eBay. This is one auction that we won't mind seeing skyrocket, however, since a portion of the profits will be donated to Child's Play!

No wonder you guys can't seem to find a Wii for sale, they converted them all into awesome eBay auctions. Great work.

am I the only one who finds these mods incredibly tacky? the stars twinkle way too fast and the rigged sounds don't even match mario galaxy's

Yes, I think you are the only one.

I'm in both minds about these. On one hand they're quite beautiful and a collectors item fo sho. On't other they can be a little glaring.
If they ever did this for a UK Wii then I might be tempted. As it stands I don't want to import all my games from the US so it's a no-go for me. Oh and IMO-
Metroid>Mario Galaxy>Zelda modded Wii's.

That...is...awesome!
It gets my vote for best mod ever.

this isn't a game mod, it's a case mod. can you make the distinction more pronounced in the future?

I had a problem with my Wii overheating and I got the same base as the mod above on Ebay for like $10. It has a fan inside to keep the Wii cool, holds a Wii remote, and even charges 2 AA batteries.
