hey guys,
dont laugh, but i am looking for a wii stand with those blue LED lights.. if it has an inbuilt fan, even better.
And i dont need a recharge battery slot.

i've seen a couple of ebay, but can anyone give any recommendations?

thanks!

So are you saying u don't WANT a recharge slot? So you'd prefer just the stand, or you don't mind either way?

well, i dont play often enough so dont need rechargeable batteries. The normal ones last me ages. Hence no need for recharge slot.

What's everyones experience with rechargable batteries??

My old man refuses to use his rechargable batteries with his wiimotes cos he reckons they don't go long without charging, so he just keeps buying energizers!

I user energizer rechargables. They're not too bad. I think they do last longer than duracell or energise batteries. These Wiimotes are power hogs, I think mainly because it's using Bluetooth for the wireless connection to the wii, and from past experience, bluetooth seems to use a whole lot more power.

thanks everyone for replies, i got one from Big W (Playmax one). And btw, ToysRUs have it on sale atm for $13.
The only problem is, i can only switch the light on together with the fan, so cant really have it on unless i am playing?
I'd prefer to be able to leave the light on without fans buzzing...
but i guess cant expect anything too fancy for $18..
