| Gold 3G iPhone |
| We've been getting quite a few
emails in regards to the 3G iPhone. While some claim to
have gold plated the 3G iPhone, the preview photos appearing on
the net look to be photoshopped 1st generation iPhones.
We've come to expect this kind of stuff from online luxury
companies the world over. An awfully shady way to generate
hype. Companies have tried doing the same thing with our
laptops as well. If you don't see detailed photos of the
product, chances are it's not the real thing so be careful
before you take the plunge. Our first plated 3G iPhone should
be coming in a couple of weeks (we're aiming to plate both bezel
and housing). If you'd like to email us, we'll update you
whenever our first unit is finished. |

| Maximum PC Dream PC
2008...Computer Choppers style.... |
| We here at Computer Choppers plate more than just Apple
products. The nice folks at
Maximum PC magazine and
Hewlett Packard gave us the opportunity to customize the HP
Blackbird 002 case for the magazine's DreamPC 2008 (September
issue). So we did what most people would expect from us,
plate it. Polished smoked nickel with clear coat to be
specific.

| New Stuff |
| Below are some of the latest things
we've been working on. Also wanted to mention that a lot
of our iPhone photos are appearing on Ebay thanks to some folks
ripping off our images. We don't sell on Ebay nor do we
allow our photos to be used on the auction site either. We
still beat everyone on price when it comes to gold iPhones (and
offer a wider selection of gold plating/finishes) so
why anyone would resort to bidding on Ebay is beyond us.
From this point on we'll be marking a majority of our phone
housings with the new Computer Choppers logo to alleviate the
problem. The new 3G
iPhone is about to be released so chances are we'll be plating
that also. Only time will tell.
Edit: 6/9/08 Looks like the iPhone 3G housing is plastic.
We're looking to plate it anyway so after we get a hold of one
to test, we'll update the site with more information. Till
then, we have platinum, 24kt yellow gold, white gold, black
nickel, and crystallite 24kt yellow gold in stock for the
current iPhone.
Edit: 6/10/08 Anyone with the benefit of receiving a 3G
iPhone early and wants it plated, let us know. If plating
is possible (it requires some R&D), the service is free (first
customer only).

| Lots of new stuff on the way.
Many orders sent out last week and many more are being sent this
week. Photos, a new website, and a gaggle of other good
looking gadgets are on their way. Edit: 5/25/08: Added iPhone
housings: polished black nickel, white gold, and platinum.
Forgive the additional watermarks.

| Backed up on emails |
| We're a bit overwhelmed with the
response of the Macbook Air and we're trying to get back to
emails sent in the last few days. So if you don't hear
from us immediately, don't fret. We're replying as fast as
possible. Please allow 24 hours for a proper response.
Sorry for the delay. |

| New Macbook
Pro means new plating choices! |
Just wanted to update everyone on
the new Macbook Pros that were released today. We are
plating them and additionally offering the following plating
options:
- Chrome
- Black Nickel
- 24kt Yellow Gold
- White Gold
- Rose Gold
- Platinum
Each plating type comes with 3 distinct finishes:
- Satin (brushed)
- Crystallite (flat)
- Polished
Our nonstandard plating like brass, bronze, copper, silver,
champagne gold, and almond gold are still available by request
and likely won't be listed till our new website is up and
running. These options are also available for the Macbook
Air, iPods, iPhones, and iMacs. |

| Magazines |
| Looks like the Digg case finally
received some attention in print. Check out the latest
issue of CPU magazine (April 2008). We've also received a
handful of magazines from around the world in the prior months
featuring the Gold Macbook Pro. While we never seem to see
all of them, we do like to show off the ones we've spotted.
We've also seen altered versions of our Gold Macbook Pro
featured with credit given to other companies. I would
hope most people could see through this kind of plagiarism.
To date, nobody has matched our plated Macbook Pros with a
similar offering. That aside, if you've seen our work
featured in print, let us know! Here's a few magazines
that included our work:
