I just want an explanation as to what the top metal shield is for inside the Wii. The one that sits between the top of the shell and the optical drive and board. Reason being, I have a clear shell on my Wii, and I would like to know about any possible modification I can do to make it more see through.

yea you can remove it but make sure none of the screws are not toching anything that would bother the wii. the sheld is to pretect from shorts and maybe to shelid the wii but no its not necessary, there just a bit of work arounds
