    Hey everyone! I just recently (a few hours ago) decided to mod my Gamecube. I did my PS2 and Xbox a long time ago.

    I plan on soldering myself, I havent soldered anything since 3 years ago but I heard GC was extremely easy.
    I don't own a soldering iron and so I need to buy one, will this soldering iron be okay?: http://www.acehardware.com/product/index.jsp?productId=1340443

    If there are any better or cheaper soldering irons to use... or any tips on soldering.. PLEASE let me know.

    I want to order this package since I need the case and gamebit too:
    http://www.modchipman.com/qoob-sx-case-combo-p-475.html
    Has anyone ordered from here? Any other recommendations (preferrably US) of good places to order?

    I'm kind of nervous about messing my Cube up, even though I have modded twice before. THANK YOU!

    I am also considering this:
    http://www.extreme-mods.com/extreme-gamecube-combo-1-p.html

    Qoob Pro Modchip
    Gamecube Cover
    Gamebit

    It's $11 more to get Pro. Shipping is about the same price if I chose USPS Priority, which I think is better anyway. Modchipman only uses fedex, and they always seem delay my shipments.

    Anyone opinions on either modchipman or extreme-mods?

    You need [bold]"15 watt"[/bold] Soldering Iron. Do not overheat anything inside GC.
    Special care needs the wire that is going to be attached in the I.C.

    Thanks for the help so far. I also need flux and solder. What diameter should the solder be?
