Below is our first finished 24kt Gold & Diamonds Macbook Pro.  We want to thank Powermax for helping provide R&D and service along the way.  We'll have a gallery up this weekend so these photos should tide you over till then.  Those interested in our plating and jewelry services can get a hold of us via the contact page.  International inquiries are welcomed.

Seems that the Macbook Pro project is getting quite a bit of attention that we weren't expecting (at least not this early).  As with all one-off projects this one is taking a bit of time to sort out kinks so while we're hoping for a photo shoot this week, it may be put off for a few days till everything comes together.
Also want to clarify that we're modding a one-off unit here.  While everyone is reporting what a diamond Apple logo can go for, we don't want to go irritating Apple by reproducing their logo for everyone.  Our goal is to offer a wide range of customizing for these laptops so each and every one that leaves our shop is unique.  We're not into mass production.  So if there is a copyright concern, we'll handle it on a case by case basis.

editors note: i wonder if that gold coating messes with the wireless?

There is no way I'd spend that kind of money on something that is not going to last that long. I mean might as well gold plate my danged truck while I'm at it.  uglystupid2

hm. wouldn't the gold plating help in distributing heat from point sources evenly all over the case? we might be looking at the latest breakthrough in cooling here. no gamer is going to dare go to a LAN party without a goldfingered comp.

Thats good.  2funny :haha: 2funny

K Reso, it might, but if it is anything like copper, it is merely more apt to just burn the heck out of you more easily. I'd think anyway.

So I wonder how much just to plate the inside of the pickup bed only.  icon_scratch
