I'm all for small form factor PCs. They fit great in your entertainment center as a home theater PC or a not-emulation box. But cramming a PC into a Wii's casing? Why would you want to do that?
Good reason or not, it's done. This computer contains a Celeron 1.3Ghz, 512mb RAM, and a 40GB hard drive. That's power enough to got your Virtual Console releases for not-free. The modder has also managed to add USB ports and a Wi-Fi antenna to the kit. I wonder what he did with the Wii innards.
As nifty as this mod is, there's a downfall that will become apparent if you watch the above video. It sounds like a blender chopping ice!

He made a new Wii by shoving it into his old GameCube.
:P
People do this for their own enjoyment and interest, and saying that he's a no life loser because of this is stupid.
stop being a hater.
Oh, and if you think you're such hot shit that you can dis the person who did this, where's your unique PC mod? What? You don't have one? Gee, what a shock to hear that...
