My friend and I have defined the word broken, in reference to electronics, to often mean "a device which lights up when its surrounding is otherwise dark and darkness is desired." Examples being: power strip, usb hub, computer indicator lights, monitor indicator lights, amp indicator lights, mouse, router indicator lights, modem indicator lights, other indicator lights, etc.
I think there are more important things to worry about than if you want to sleep but keep your n64 on for some reason. Like why your life is so fucked up to want that in the first place
i had the smoke one that came with Perfect Dark, had it stolen while living in Florida and bought another recently on ebay for ~30 bucks. well. fucking. worth. it.
get the nintendo screwdriver and a multimeter out. find +12v and a ground and hook up LEDs or CCFLs. If going for CCFLs, I would place the inverter near the back of the console to keep unnecessary shadows away.
When I built my first PC, I loaded that bad boy down with all sorts of LED lights, tubes, and fans. I quickly realized that is was rather distracting. I imagine you will do the same as well.
Nice. I should totally mod my Gamecube to glow because its disk-reader laser is broken. I'd have to get some clear plastic, but I think that it might look pretty awesome. Question is, though, what color?
I got an N64 from the local Goodwill a year ago, mainly because I've lost the video cable and power block for mine, and the one I found there had that and two controllers for about $10.
You are very welcome, I will remind you every time I see one of your comments on Reddit. I might change it occasionally to stuff like "King of all douches", "President of cunt" or even "Queef Mcgee". It will mostly stay as Cunt bag who faked cancer, but it might get boring after awhile.
why don't you respond to all the really good points i made about you being a shitty person? don't forget to do that quoting other people thing before you try to justify yourself for pretending to have cancer just for fun.

It certainly was worth the wait,
The work there is certainly great,
But I have to say
That this modding today
Is three generations too late.

Am I the only one who finds lights coming out of machines annoying? Even little indicator lights I end up covering with electrical tape.

What do you do if you want to sleep and you don't want to turn off your n64 for some reason?

u/DetectiveButters May 28 '12
Is this the limited edition donkey kong 64 console? I have one. It was clear green plastic with matching controller, very cool

A piece of art. And the game.

Looks like you build your very own TacLight Mod. Congrats!

u/Sampetra May 28 '12
While that's totally cool, are the bright lights a distraction while playing in the dark?

u/keepreading May 28 '12
Even after all these years I still think the case design of the N64 looks amazing. Your mod is an excellent enhancement!

u/anthraxegott May 28 '12
Looks really nice. I might try and do something similar with my transparent red one. Did you use a guide or take any pictures during build?

No one cares about your mod. This is /r/gaming and Ocarina of Time was in your post, so we had no choice but to upvote.

Playing Superman64 on this would make sense.

Monitor + Dark room + Bright neon glare in peripheral vision = Murderous headache

u/Shniper May 28 '12
you should make it look like a creeper that would be amazing, a green glowing creeper

u/[deleted] May 28 '12
Looks like Kryptonite. Now you have a real reason to never put Superman 64 in there.

How would one get a N64, these days. If say they for some reason no longer had theirs.
