Hi, i have just REALLY gotten into modding consoles, And i'd like to know of some really good mods for these following consoles:

Gamecube
N64
SNES (Model 1)
NES (Toaster model)
Sega Master System
Genesis (Model 2)
Saturn
Dreamcast
PS2 (Model 1)
Intellivision
Colecovision
Atari 2600 (4 Switch model)
Atari 7800

I am interested in getting RGB from these consoles:

Intellivision
Colecovision
Atari 2600
Sega Master System
Genesis
Saturn
Atari 7800
NES

I didn't see RGB guides for those, And i'm not quite sure wether i can even get RGB from an atari 2600, But i'd like some guides on them.

Oh and console paintjobs are considered "Mods" In my book aswell.

Any info would be appreciated.

Have a look at the Wiki please, if you haven't already:

http://gamesx.com/wiki/doku.php

Please take some time to build up a level of prerequisite knowledge, and maybe to set a couple of subgoals. To touch on just one of the subjects you've brought up, most of the Sega consoles on your list generate RGB natively and require no modification. You can get RGB straight out of the video chip or from the proprietary A/V connector on the back.

OK, Mostly I am interested in paintjobs and case mods (And LED mods) But I need a mod for the colecovision (For the power switch, It's so hard to turn on) Also I would like to get RGB from these consoles:

Atari 2600
Atari 5200
Atari 7800
Colecovision
Intellivision
NES

Also add the Atari Jaguar to the main list, I'm curious about mods for it. (I don't have one yet, But I thought i might aswell ask anyway :) )

Again, please have a look at the Wiki. This link should cover video mods related to the NES and the Jaguar:

http://gamesx.com/wiki/doku.php?id=av:av_mods

A Google search turns up a half-dozen people who have produced a superior power switch for the Colecovision. Also, RGB isn't ever produced by most of the consoles on your list there, so if you absolutely have to have it you should be looking at an upscanning solution rather than a mod. However, most of those consoles produced chroma and luma signals natively, which means that for many of them an S-video mod is possible.
