    Actually got inspired by this video to mod my childhood Gamecube (that my Dad got me for Christmas back in 2001) with the GC Loader ODE and a translucent purple shell. First time I had ever fully taken apart a console and then put it back together, and I was worried the whole time that I'd done something wrong, but everything worked as intended. And I wouldn't have done it without watching this video and going "Hey, this is cool, I wanna do it myself!"

    If the tears don't flow from Marks video, I took 5 original (stick working) N64 and 2 original new/old stock NES controllers out of circulation and binned their working innards, in order to install the 8bitdo wireless mods. Sure I could have sold or donated the innards to you, but I snapped a couple boards for fun with pliers, cut the cables and broke the sticks.
