The Sony PlayStation Portable modding scene is truly one to behold, and we see it in its top form with tec_in_the_making’s EL Wire PSP mod, where he’s kitted out his own transparent handheld with some cleverly-placed EL Wire. The effect, while simple and not as flashy as other mods, certainly looks awesome and opens up a lot of potential for those of us who want a bit more customization for our gadgets.

But first, what’s an EL Wire? It’s a thin copper wire that’s coated in a phosphor which glows when an AC voltage is applied to it. It’s mainly used to decorate vehicles and structures, much like rope light and Christmas lights – but the difference is that EL wire generates an unbroken line of visible light. It’s also extremely flexible and thin, which makes it easy to shape and conform.
