One of a kind AT-AT GameCube mod up for sale photo

A long time ago, in an Internet post back, back in the day, a man made an awesome GameCube mod. Now, the creator of this mod needs some cash and has put his AT-AT GameCube up for sale on eBay. The mod comes with four Wavebird controllers, two memory cards and it even comes with the AT-AT pilot too!

The reason the modder is selling this masterpiece is because he needs the cash to help him move his videogame business to a new location. From the looks of it, he's going to get a lot of money from this auction. This was put up yesterday and is already at $500 with nearly 40 bids on it with a week left for people to bid on this one of a kind piece. Be sure to check out the auction page for more pictures and video of the mod in action.

I've actually seen that with my own eyes. They guy who owns that kept it displayed in his store here in Columbus. He also has a PS1 with a nice Decepticon design airbrushed on it.

I keep staring at the pic, waiting for a rebellious controller to fly circles around the AT-ATcube's legs, wrapping them in its cord.

Please tell me those aren't wireless controllers.

I once saw a mod where someone put their snes inside their computer tower and made the controller ports and the cartridge bay in the extra dvd/cd drive slots.

Man. If money wasn't the issue, I'd be buying all these video game system mods we always see on Ebay.

@ikiryou: Considering that they’re white, they must be Wavebirds, in which case...yeah, they are wireless.

Hm...$500 already, eh? Considering that $500 buys two Wiis, and two Wiis roughly equal four GameCubes, and this is only one GameCube, I’m gonna have to pass. Or at least, that’s what the rational side of my brain thinks.

The other side of my brain (the one concerned with really cool-looking stuff) says, “DO WANT!”

Thats a cool mod, because that system had one of the best stars wars game ever, Rouge Squadron II! Lets not think about the others...

When will the game machine manufacturers learn, we don't want our consoles to be sleek and sophisticated.
We want them inside star wars vehicles.
Prediction: The PS4 will be a fully functioning death star.

Yeah, I remember seeing this in Colombus too. Unfortunately, when I was there I was flat broke, but if I had the money, this story wouldn't have even gone up.

I assume he's moving because the City Center is dying. Anyone in the Columbus area know where he's moving to?

Yeah I dont see why eBay would have closed it. I would rather like to see how expensive it went.

I like it, Im not trying to be a downer, but I own three of those AT-At's and the mod is SO F*CKING EASY to make. It's really a sin to call such a procedure a mod.
