Here's a new mod for getting your Gamecube ports up front. Cheap Ass Gamer writes...

While it is unarguably easier to plug controllers into the front vs. the back, this seems like a lot of work to end up with a Wii that is twice the size, only to put the ports up front. I suppose that if you're a hardcore Gamecube player that for some reason doesn't already have a Gamecube, this mod's for you.
