Evolving from the designs of Team Xtender's past mods, the ii-Hot Rock case aims to do more than just light the Wii with colorful LEDs. The $62.95 shell comes equipped with a digital thermometer that displays the console's internal temperature, and the LEDs shift with that measurement. Every 5° change pushes their hue towards either a colder or warmer glow, luminescing a light blue at sub-28°C and glaring klaxon red when temperatures over 55°C are detected. If you're paranoid about overheating consoles, a mod like this would be perfect for quickly warning you to either shut your system off or execute an emergency saucer separation, putting distance between you and the rest of the starship before the Wii's warp core breaches. Let's all hope it never comes to that. Set a course past the post break, and check out a couple more photos of Team Xtender's ii-Hot Rock case.

This is the most hardcore case mod I've seen. It'd probably just constantly run blue for me though.
Only problem I forsee is that people get tired of the blue, so they start blocking the cooling fan to watch it change colors... that can't be good for the system.

Thats pretty much awesome enough to invent a new word to describe it. Seriously, a complete console mod with changing lights and extreme looks? I'm into the PC modding scene and I've never seen anything this complete before in one package for an extremely low price.

It looks cool enough but does it do anything to cool the system or just an indicator of the temperature

It's okay, B-Ry; we'd want you to die in a fire either way.
