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.
