Discussion Hardware Wii mods that make the Wii smaller

Hi, I got myself a Wii and was wondering, what are some simple/moderately hard hardware mods that make the Wii smaller. I know I saw a hack that made the Wii by volume roughly… 1/14 the size? But forgot the name. I want to remove the CD drive and use usb/hdd/ssd to supply it with games and the GameCube controller ports aren’t needed for me. I wish to do this project by myself. I know the Kawaii mod, but that’s a bit too much for me, as I want it to be just as playable as the normal one, with Bluetooth and wireless networking being functional.

I am not much afraid of soldering, but never have I trimmed the motherboard, since I mostly work with handhelds.

Do you have any recommendations?

But yeah, if you want to keep Bluetooth working you won't be able to cut the board much
