There is nothing new with pimping up your techie stuff with some expensive material, mostly metal, and up its glam quotient. Also, you will find it hard to believe that even one of the most non-metal objects in the world can be made into metal. Check out the embellishments of the folks at Computer Choppers and you will know what we are talking about.

The company has a passion for styling up almost everything from brand Apple that they love so much. Their newest task was to plate and polish a platinum 24″ iMac. And it does look like a true blue stunner with a custom cut Apple logo that has been inlaid at the back of its chassis as well as that of the platinum plated keyboard and mouse.

Quite a cool concept for a period when everything that is valuable comes with the stamp of platinum, credit cards included. You will have to call the innovators-cum-makers for the price option. But we do have a feeing; this PC is going to be out of reach for many!

The luxury market dealers will always find newer ways to empty the pockets and purses of the uber rich. Gaiser High End PCs are a classic example. This is a line of computers that functions like the usual machines that we not-so-well-off have on our desks in the times today but yes, they are different in terms of the precious and semi-precous materials adorning their surfaces that attempt to make obscene spending justifiable.

Holding our judgemental horses for a while, let us tell you that these PCS are covered in 24 carat gold leaf and spectacular Swarovski crystals. In fact, the intense adornments can be seen reflectd in the huge price tag that each of this computer carries – $32,300, which, mind you, is more than a car!

Now, at this price we do feel that those crystals could have easily been replaced by high-quality diamonds though we still cannot digest the sense of putting diamonds on a PC case. The range provided by Gaiser has only one primary purpose – to flaunt! Meant only for those who do not like to think twice when shopping, the high end PCs from Gaiser are a strange concept with and unjustifiable price range.

Any device that has a touchscreen to go along with it adds a lot of value to the both the gadget and gives plenty of value for money to the consumers. Having a mobile with that exact same feature allows me to say that the interactive screen experience is a lot better than the boring old buttons. Then there is the added cool factor where every time you see that people are watching you, you can just take out the little pointed stick and go about acting if you are seriously busy. Now Microsoft wishes to extend this technology to mass computers. If everything goes to plan, Surface Computers my not be far off.

Microsoft is in the process of developing OAHU Multi-Touch Device that comes with cool new features such as fixed location, allows 4 people to use all at the same time and even looks like a casual table which has a screen around it. Then it also carries the ability to work as well as any of your normal PCs with an ability to integrate with external hardware. The device can be operated with hands and Microsoft has been constantly exhibiting prototypes in the popular conventions.

Priced at around $1,499 (rumored), the new technology could soon become very popular and the way Microsoft see it, could be their next big boom. Now I hope the boom comes soon enough before we go deaf waiting for it.

If you happen to believe that PCs can only be rectangular or square then you need to hear or rather witness this revolutionary creation by designer Apostol Tnokovski. His belief that PC arena is curved is well reflected via this 6-inch orb-shaped model. Touted as “the smallest PC ever made,” the E-Ball oddball shaped PC features the pop-out laser mouse, a pico projector inside that illumines either the fence or a pane of paper for a display, and the laser keyboard is certainly a maladroit input device. Fix that, and identify a motherboard that befits the palm-sized baby, and Apostol might be onto somewhat here. If you are looking for more fun then do consider PC of the swim rings.

They may call it the worlds fastest and pricey PC ever developed but on first appeal it is nothing but a standard coupe. Called Brabus SV12 Biturbo, the functionality of the coupe offers a mobile feature to the need of workstation, PC and other sundry thingamajigs. Featuring 211mph, the Brabus SV12 Biturbo can speed up from 0-62mph in just 4 seconds. Exhibited at the British Motor Show, it is accessible via long-wheelbase Mercedes S600 limo along with one of Brabus’ renowned 6.3litre V12 ‘Rocket’ engines, mounting 730bhp, condensed into it. Priced at Ł270,000, the IT aspect of the motor gathered my attention as the fat sum of Ł24,726.70 (ex. VAT) for the ‘Business equipment’ defines that concern is merely intellectual.

If willing to shell over the fat sum, you may get to access a retractable 15.2in widescreen TFT integrated, an infrared keyboard with touchpad, numerous multimedia screens fitted on the back of the headrests plus a laptop, which appears to be Windows Vista escalated in an electrically activates drawer in the boot. It also comes with incorporated Internet facility, sat nav and a console for a color printer. If lack funds to ink a deal with this deluxe coupe or on-wheels office then would propose you to go for a window shopping.

If those floating cubic cases and king tut inspired PC casemod fails to interest you then how about keeping fingers on straight geometrics and bring home a spherical PC Mod. Seemingly a travelling Pac-Man, the Orb is an out product of modder’s wish to develop a Pacman or motorcycle-helmet that can open a screen driven by a motor. Doing away the conventional forms of LEDs and windows, its visor is formed using two quarter-spheres, one slightly smaller than the other. Jump over for video:

They are adhesive together at a distance of 5mm of space that supports water cooling system. Great job NQ! The standing PC on its own legs seems to have come from future to break few heads and would guzzle things the minute it staggers ahead.
