OH GOD SHINY

Now this baby is a statement..

There’s a company called Computer Choppers, who will take a normal laptop, dip it in gold, whack a scratch and fingerprint resistant coating on it, and let you be the ultimate showoff. They also do platinum, chrome, rose gold, and plenty of other shiny shiny metals, and they can do it to pretty much any electronic device.

I have to say I also love the anodizing they do, which allows you to color pretty much anything in any way you can imagine, including inlaid patterns. What’s that, Apple, boring grey shuffles? I think not, muhaha

Oh and there’s getting your logo or design embedded in the surface of your electronics in diamonds. Seems like they’ll do it to pretty much anything, including PS3’s..

I have to say this is actually almost tempting, they’ve managed to make something awesome and shiny that’s somehow not tacky. The 32g iPhone (network unlocked), done in 24k gold, is about $1600 USD. One day, my pretty, one day..
