The Wii UNLimited Edition Case Mod ditches the traditional white case for a cyber-styled CNC-milled one
Gaming consoles are pretty generic looking: White or black plastic, and relatively rectangular in shape. Martin Nielsen, a case-modding visionary, took the tired old Wii console and transformed it into the Wii UNLimited Edition, an almost unrecognizably epic acrylic and aluminum contraption.
Never mind the underpowered console inside. The case is made of CNC-milled aluminum. Dual 22 cm coolant reservoirs housed on either side of the Wii UNLimited Edition feed cerulean-tinted liquid to cool the main console through a series of tubes. A water pump is housed at the base of the left reservoir. The front of the case is see-through, so you can see the inner workings of the console.
To ensure overheating doesn't occur, there's a digital thermometer that sits on top of the structure, and discs are top-loaded through a slot. As an added touch, the Wii logo was machined onto the aluminum side panels.
The entire shebang is wall-mounted, displaying that previously unremarkable Wii console as a futuristic work of art.
If I had the time (and the skills), I'd style all of my consoles and boring looking electronics like this. It'd be like living in a sci-fi, steampunk space ship.
