Question How far can you take the OMGWTF trim?

[Bozer]

I'm building a Louii right now and it requires deeper cuts on a OMGWTF trim. What are the components on the Wii that I can still take off? I know I could get closer to the NAND lines, but that's about it

I managed to trim the board down to this point and it still was working

Dang. Just curious, why did you remove basically everything possible from the board?

I had to remove everything in order to work on my project, which involves a complete redesign of the wii motherboard. If you want here is my project https://bitbuilt.net/forums/index.php?threads/the-lightniing.4766/

While a trim like that is possible, I don't recommend trying it. The internal angles are very difficult to sand, and it's easy to mess up.

You can sand down way closer to the NAND lines, shave a bit off the AV caps side, and you can get a little bit closer to the NAND pins. That's about it tho
