Adding color to your console no longer means you'll have to void your warranty by breaking it open. While more complicated mods have you pulling off panels to replace the Wii's shell, GT Coupe's "crystal clear cases" -- available in blue, pink, green, white, and black -- allow you to just slip the system into the plastic housing for the desired hue. Each case come with a blue-LED-lined, cooling-fan-equipped stand to accommodate your refitted console.
DealExtreme lists the Dazzle Colorful and Luxury Kit at about $30, but only has the pink case in stock. You can find the other colors for much cheaper ($22) if you're willing to make your purchase through eBay. Head past the break for a couple more photos of the kit.

Fred, if you read the article, you'd read that this requires no modding, and it won't void your warranty. Its just a shell that covers the OUTSIDE of the Wii.
It even includes a fan, because the Wiis are overheating (supposedly), when left on NWFC24...

1 - The recent update to the Wii is supposed to have stopped the overheating.
2 - Adding a shell COVERING will both (a) cause the skin to become thicker, creating less heat loss (increasing heat), and (b) create a possible pocket between the two liners that will trap heat.
I do not recommend this addition to your Wii.

Retail stores don't sell this stuff probably because they aren't officially licensed.

It looks like all three colored shells might be included in the one package ...
