FS: Modded iPod Mini, 32gb flash
I recently modded a green second gen iPod Mini, replacing the 4gb microdrive with 32gb flash, making it one of the highest capacity portable DAPs available. I also replaced the battery to give it a significant boost in runtime. There's a thread in the portable source forum about this mod for more info.
I thought 32gb would be sufficient but since I use lossless it's borderline. I downconverted everything to 256k AAC but I feel dirty doing that... I think I'm better off sticking with my iPod 5.5gen.
Functionally the iPod is perfect. I have yet to drain the battery, and it's impressive having more than 30gb usable on a compact flash based player. Appearance wise, there is a small dent in the upper right corner and a ding on the front to the right of the screen. Both are visible in the pics. Does not affect functionality, but it's definitely a B- or so on appearance.
If there is interest I will take some pics. I'm looking for $150 shipped to ConUS, which covers the parts I put into it and a little extra for my time. I may consider interesting trades as well!
