Dude, that is awesome. From what I can tell, you dismantled an old 'Cube or some controllers to get those plugs, then wired them with some shielded cabling; it all looks like stuff you could get from Radioshack. What was the price like with this? Looks like twenty or thirty bucks, plus the price of a dead 'Cube or some fried controllers. How far off am I?
Seriously, man, this is great. Whoever was bitching about the size needs to get some perspective; how big is the Wii, less than a square foot? Sitting next to my mammoth XBox and PS2, not to mention when I break out the Saturn or--on those special days--the Ol' Genesis, the Wii looks like it wouldn't mind a little extra bulk. And really, how hard would it be to run some extra feautures through that frame? Tack on some memory card slots, a couple USB ports and some other such fancy shit, and you've got yourself a complete WiiStation, well worth the size. Kudos, dude.
When are you going to post a write-up on this thing? I love the shots of the process, but I need some explaining. What I really want to know is, where'd you get those components? I wouldn't think they sell Gamecube ports down at the Parts Plus. Seriously, man, questions need answering.
Again, kudos, and screw those haters. They just hate those extra couple inches so badly 'cause it reminds them of FREEDOM. Also, they are Communists.
