Wow, you got an awesome deal! They were like $50 new, and now they go for something like $80 on eBay!

Mine's still in Mint. I recently LED modded my Gamecube too. I might buy another one to Zelda theme it, then package it with Windwaker and a Zelda Collection. Oh and TP. Zelda fan's dream. I need a lot of Gold paint though...hmm...

oh and 480P never looked better when playing metroid.

I watched the video but I thought it was going to show how you mounted it? I still cant see anything. Is it the original jewel just cleared? How is it mounted?

Oh, you wanted to see THAT. I hardly make tech video's anymore, but I suppose I could.

Is it the original jewel just cleared?
No, I had to cut out the plastic and then replace it with acrylic.

How is it mounted?
It fits snugly, but is secured w/ hotglue.

Where is the best place to mount 2 5MM LED's to illuminate the clear jewel? I finally got the jewel in and now I cant seem to find a good spot to mount LED's.
