There are console mods (http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/28/apple-imac-murdered-reborn-as-all-in-one-dreamcast-mod/) and there are console mods (http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/12/ben-heck-makes-xbox-360-slim-portable-still-wont-make-a-brie/)... and then there's this -- a completely custom Nintendo Wii built from steel and cooled by two liquid-filled containers that would look more at home in a mad scientist's laboratory. Not surprisingly, this mod took a long time to complete. Bit-tech forum member Angel OD began the so-called "UNLimited Edition" project way back in December, 2009 and, after a few diversions, finally finished it this past weekend. Be sure to hit up the links below for a look at the complete build process, and a few more shots of the finished product.

Why freaking bother? fair enough if it was the xbox 360, but the wii? that's like water cooling a single core cpu and a 32mb GPU. LMAO!!!! idiots.
