For $30,000, you could be the proud owner of a 24-carat gold covered MacBook Pro with an Apple logo that features multi-color diamonds. Computer Choppers, a company that personalizes high-tech gadgets, also offers the chance to cover your favorite Apple product in white, rose and yellow gold, as well as copper, black and silver chrome.
The company's founder, Alex Wiley, explained to CNNMoney: 'We'll take an iMac, an iPad, a tablet of some sort and we'll strip it down to bare metal, we'll engrave or personalize it for a customer and then go ahead and plate that with 24-karat gold. And if price is right, the company will coat just about anything, from Nintendo game controllers to iPhones and Blackberries.
The website says: 'Though we are known for our customized Apple products, we provide our services on most any computer or electronic item. 'Other specialty plating such as: silver, old english gold, chamagne gold, almond gold, honey gold, rose copper, bronze, and pewter can be requested.'
And 'exotic graphic plating' is also available, which are created from scratch.
'There is no limit to the intricacy of the drawing and we are happy to create any type of artwork you request,' the website says.
