Medion SIM 2060 laptop iced out with 300 crystals

We’re not really sure why anyone needs a crystal-encrusted LED belt buckle, nor an iced-out Xbox, but Medion clearly thinks that a sparkly (with 300 Swarovski crystals) laptop is the best way to attract female users, despite our skepticism. Looking beyond the exterior, the SIM 2060 laptop packs a 1.73GHz Core Duo chip, a 12.1-inch screen, 1GB of DDR2 RAM, a 100GB hard drive, WiFi, Bluetooth, gigabit Ethernet, a SD/MMC/Memory Stick card reader, an ExpressCard 54 slot, and a dual-layer DVD burner — all of that will set you back £1,000 ($1,900). Not a bad deal considering that a fridge with 7,000 such crystals went for 10 times that price.

Gorenje Eye-Catchers: Get an iced out fridge for £10,000

Filed under: bling,crystals,england,fridge,gorenje,london,refrigerator,swarovski,yugoslavia — Cyrus Farivar @ 12:57 am

Clearly there’s one niche market that the über-rich must have been clamoring for to the appliance manufacturers of the world: how to combine a fridge with obscene amounts of shinyness? Fear not, Gorenje UK, the British division of a company from the former Yugoslavia, has developed an extremely limited line of refrigerators (known appropriately as “The Eye-Catchers”) lined with rows upon rows of Swarovski crystals (7,000 to be precise). Act now kids, because Gorenje is only making 10 of these, and they retail for £10,000 (nearly $19,000). For that price, the combined 331 L (87.4 gallons) capacity fridge-freezer also comes with a radio receiver, a “cookery book” (we assume that’s a cookbook), voice messages and a voice alarm. You can catch a glimpse of one of these on the company’s website, and at Harrods in London. This fridge too rich for you? Don’t worry, there’s a budget model priced at only £1400 — but it only comes with 3500 crystals, so really, what’s the point of that? More photos on the flip side.

MobiBlu squared: crystalized 1500i and new pics of Cube 2

Given MobiBlu’s efforts to convince consumers
that the company’s tiny 1500i audio player can be href="http://www.engadget.com/2005/04/05/do-not-wear-mobiblue-dah-1500/">worn as jewelry, it seems only fitting
that someone has taken them literally, and produced a customized version of the player encrusted with shiny crystals.
The DAH 1500i Crystal is a 2GB version of the player, and is available in the UK for £169 ($307). Of course, if
you care more about music than about showing off your zirconium collection, you’d probably prefer to skip this one and
wait for MobiBlu’s href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/04/19/mobiblu-cube-2-successor-to-worlds-smallest-mp3-player/">upcoming Cube 2,
which DAPreview reports will boast a 0.67-inch, 64×48 JPEG-capable OLED display (though we tend to think actually
checking out pics on such a small screen probably isn’t the best idea), SRS WOW HD, FM tuner and some sort of docking
station. Still no word on pricing, availability and whether MobiBlu will try to convince 1500i owners to pick up a Cube
2 so they’ll have a set to use as earrings.

The Bling Bling 360

Filed under: crystals — Gizmodo @ 9:00 am

swarovski-xbox-360.jpg

If Paris had to have an Xbox 360, she'd want this one. This Xbox 360 is covered in gorgeous—and garish—Swarovski crystals in white and blue to form a blue flame and radioactive symbol on the front. This bling is custom made, so don't go by your local K-Mart looking for the 360: Swarovski Edition. Not happening, girlie.
