The only mod I've had the courage to do to my DC is the LED mod one, I changed the orange one with a green one - http://www.geocities.com/gmchristofi/DSCF0068.JPG (may have to copy + Paste link in browser, stupid Geocities :? )

It is a self made VGA adapter that I built two years ago. It was soon after the DC came out in America and the VGA adapters for sale were fairly expensive. I wouldn't bother doing it again, the third party adapters are quite cheap if you shop around. The one I made still does work fine after these two years. The main reason that I built it as an internal adapter was just because I did not have a connector for the console's A/V jack.

To all those wanting info on the VGA box, I can only assume you didn't look in the FAQ at the top of this forum:

The lid is dark blue, honest. I just have a camera which doesn't like indoor light very much.
