My wii's bigger than yours ... (Wii mod)

Ok, I've found a decent place to get the GC parts. I'm working on a newer design at the moment, possibly a little shorter than the original and made out of white acrylic so I won't have to paint and sand. I really think I'm going to lose the LEDs though. My main problem at the moment is all the epoxy adhesives I have won't stick to acrylic, so I have to find an alternative to keep the ports in place. Ok, now before I drop a nice lump sum on acrylic sheets, adhesives, tools and other crap I have no other use for, I need to know if the few people who have been saying they want one ... actually want one. I'm estimating my cost at around $30 ea. and if I ebay & paypal them I can't see making any money for my time and labor for anything >$40. I just have to be sure that these will actually sell at $50+ before I spend money I don't have on supplies. Just let me know what you guys think. Thanks

In this case he has his Wii enlarged because his small, tiny Wii just wasn't working for him.

... ok it's "money" I don't have but it's "credit" I'll use
 
I've ordered some samples of various kinds of acrylic, white, mirror, carbon fiber, etc. I hope to have them within the week. I have to run a few tests and "work" with it until I feel comfortable enough to actually order the material to make a few of these. My intentions are to make a lot of about 4 - 6 white ones in the next couple months and put them on ebay. If everything goes well then I might branch off into other colors, maybe even a mirrored ones. I'd like to get a black case for my Wii, like the Shockii & Chuckii and then make a black one of these for myself.
 
Ran into this AMAZING mod/addition after researching things for my new Wii. I know for sure that I want one of these made for my Wii, if Hollow still makes them, and i've shown this to a couple of my fellow Wii buddies, and they said after I get mine and see how it is, that they DEFINITELY want one of there own too.

Just to ask you Hollow, whats the dimensions of the empty space inside? I ask because I want to place my external drive inside this mod/addition instead of it sitting beside my Wii. I run all of my homebrew and backups off my dedicated Wii external, and would really like to utilize this as a way to incorporate it into the look of my Wii.
 
I love it! Where did you get the lighted GC ports from? I'd like to take a crack at this myself.
EDIT: haha, I see what you did now. I thought the light and port were an assembly. nevermind.

Awesome job though, I must say.
 
Wasn't hard this addon is a sexy piece of equipment. I just wish I could get hollowfreak to make me one, or to make me a custom one of these for my Wii ; ;

@Gunnm, yes there is a way, do a google search for Wii Homebrew and start doing your research.
