Instant disappointment.
Thought this was a homebrewed Wii system made with modern components.
No.
It's original Wii system cut-up and repackaged. An actual Wii system gets destroyed each time one of these get created.
So much for preservation...
Repurposing old shit is a lot cooler than hoarding junk and generating new e-waste. The disc reader goes out. Hard drives corrupt saves. It's an appliance.
There are tons and tons of wiis out there. Chopping a few for a fun project hardly affects preservation.
I mean...so? over 101 million wiis were sold. I think we can wreck a few million before it becomes a problem.
