(Maybe do an LED mod to give it a Wii-mote feel though) Maybe I'll open it up and check all the contacts, play with the pots a little bit to see if there is anything stuck in them. I should probably also check the batteries too since I have no idea how old they are.
I would go with a purple/clear controller. An led mod looks amazing. Plus, the only thing to paint is the top piece.

YES!! so true!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why does someone always have to make fodder for a flamewar? It's annoying how easily and how often people do it.
I don't think so. I bought one and modded it for a friend about a year ago, and bought it new at Gamestop. I only found two eBay auctions that had them though, so they may be getting more and more rare.
EDIT: I searched Google Shopping for "purple clear gamecube", and it came up with a lot of results. Another convenient, time-saving link!
The first page is the only one worth looking at.
