Embolden Your Mac

Make it Golden

— September 20, 2007 — Unique
Computer Choppers decided that tricking out your Mac with Chrome didn't go far enough. To attract attention to your Mac, plate it with 24K gold! It will cost you from $1200 to $1500. If you want to add a diamond encrusted Apple logo, tack on $2400. It will take them up to six weeks to complete the job and if your company is springing to outfit the whole office you will have to wait longer.
They will engrave the keys and paint the track pad too. Of course if you want Computer Choppers to do your custom design they would be happy to oblige.
If you are a Digg freak, check out eBay for an auction for a special Digg edition.
