I'm a sucker for a good mod, but this is my favorite cosmetic mod I've seen for DS, hands down. This Australia-based eBay seller took a plain DS lite and customized it with a remarkable paint job, added a beautiful detail of Link's shield to the cover, and added some LEDs beneath to add a glow. Not only is it tasteful and well done, here's the kicker -- 15% of the final bid price will be donated to Child's Play, Penny Arcade's charity.
The starting bid is 200 Australian dollars, which is roughly $180 dollars in American greenbacks. If I had it to spare at the moment I'd bid right away, but as usual I've spent it all on trying to impress Jim Sterling with antique monocles so your chance to snag this one of a kind is wide open. As cool as I thought my Taiko Drum Master DS skin was, this makes it look pretty lame in comparison.

But blue? Ew.
Maybe if they went with another blue, maybe a much darker deeper blue it would have looked much better, still though, good stuff!
Black? BLACK??! Black is like saying I want someone to make me a custom icecream flavor. What flavor you ask? VANILLA.
Yeah, light blue and white is different, goes really well with the led, and is NICE.
I like.

Looks awesome.
Wish I had the money.
If he wanted to go with the blue/white Wind Waker/Phantom Hourglass-esque color scheme, he should've chosen a more fitting emblem.
I think it looks pretty damn sw33t!
