"Mini Wii: Custom Parts Shrink Console to Deck of Cards Size"
TL;DR
A modder has created what may be the smallest Nintendo Wii yet, roughly the size of a deck of cards, using a custom-built housing and original Wii motherboard cut down to the bare basics. Specialized PCBs handle power, data, video output, and memory, while additional custom PCBs were designed for power, micro SD card, HDMI connector, controller ports, and buttons. The build, nicknamed Short Stack, is just 7.4% the volume of an original Wii, and the modder believes it's possible to go even smaller in the future.
