Platinum Plated 24-inch Apple iMac

As if Apple doesn't already have bad enough of a reputation for being an overpriced brand, computer customizing shop Computer Choppers is now offering a special edition 24" iMac, matching wireless keyboard and Mighty Mouse all covered in a eye-catching/distracting gen-you-wine platinum. Amazingly, this is one of their more subtle offerings, as Computer Choppers also offers an anodized, black Macbook Pro covered in 24kt gold and diamonds (you can save a bit by opting for the cubic zirconia option)...

Computer Choppers offers over 50 different decorative finishes, including copper, black nickel, white gold, rose gold, and plain ole chrome. Flat, brushed or polished finishes or colour anodized coatings are also available (instead of just a layer of paint like other customized shops) at rates that can cost upwards of $1700 for a 17" MacBook Pro.

The Apple computers are priced high simply because their system is unique and different. They are not prone to getting viruses like Windows and most programs on the computers you buy are their programs that are created to complete the needs of the customers. HP is horrible. Their computers at the beginning of their reign were actually very good. But the quality began to grow worse and worse until now I don't buy any HP computers any more. They crash VERY easy, get virsues even easier and there are too many unnecessary folders that the amount of space left over is barely enough to last a good amount of time. So, I personally think the prices that Apple have are manageable. You may not agree but honestly Apple are good business computers. If you just want a good home office type computer buy a EMachine or a regulars what is it? Gateway
