The talented case modders from Computer Choppers are currently working on a project to create a golden Apple MacBook Pro laptop. I’m not talking about a little spray paint here. This mod includes a full 24-karat gold plating of the case.

The company can do the same for you, but it’ll cost ya. The estimated cost for the plating, painting and etching work will set you back between $1200 and $1500. For a bit extra, they’ll customize the Apple logo cutout with a custom design of your choice.
