Wii woodgrain mod gives it an Atari look
http://www.slipperybrick.com/ 2008/ 08/ wii-woodgrain...
Wood classes up almost any gadget. Even simple USB drives. But when you give the Wii a woodgrain makeover, the result is simply awesome. It’s as if the the old Atari woodgrain consoles merged with the Wii. Much better then boring Wii white. For now it’s just a concept design by Joe D, which is a shame. Nintendo would sell a ton of product. Joe’s concept apparently has a layer of woodgrain veneer on the Wii-Mote, Nunchuk, even the Classic Controller and Nyko Perfect Shot. That’s sweet enough, but he also gave the controllers get some bright white backlit buttons and black paint to bring out the wood.

Woodgrain Wii Mod, Classy? I think So
http://www.uberreview.com/2008/08/woodgrain-wii-mod-classy-i...I’ve got to say that I find the white on white color scheme of the Wii monotonous in the extreme. It works, but a bit of variation never goes astray. There are tons of casemods of varying quality out there, but they usually fall into the fan art category. This woodgrain concept, however, is different: it is something that can be appreciated by all and it works very, very nicely. Unfortunately, it is just a concept, but one that I would hope sees the light of day, even if only in a limited run. Congratulations to the designer Joe D, this is one classy Wii Mod [Technabob via Slippery Brick] Related posts Wii Bowling Travel Bag, Bowling Shirt Not Included (0) Play Some LED Pong on Pong Table (2) Grill PC Mod is a Step in the Wrong Direction (1) Gears of War X360 Mod (1) DIY: Softmod Your Wii to Play DVDs (0)
