The world's most expensive Yalos Diamond Keymat TV

First there was the piano black fridge embellished with sparkling Swarovski crystals; now Pocket-lint brings you news of the most expensive TV set in the world, the Yalos Diamonds.

At least, it's advertised as the most expensive TV, but LG may have the edge with their 24-carat gold plated TV home entertainment system. However, while Italian TV manufacturer Keymat is quite candid about the price, LG is a bit coy about the figures.

The Diamonds set is studded with – you guessed it – diamonds that sparkle on the glossy black frame.

The price for this gorgeous little number is a worrying €100,000; personally, we’d rather wear the diamonds than have our TV studded with them.

Keymat says that Yalos is made with “unconventional materials such as glass and Plexiglass”, but quite what is so unconventional about them is not clear. However, the set doesn’t show any signs of screws and welds, and the logo has apparently been screen-printed backwards and changes colour depending on whether the set is on or off.
So, you thought the 103-inch Plasma from Panasonic carried a bit of heft around the price tag, eh? Well check out this $130,000 YALOS Diamond LCD TV from Keymat. Now, just forget everything you thought was important when measuring the value of a good LCD panel -- you know: brightness, contrast ratio, response, pixel resolution, and so on -- those measurements are for fools, boy. As any self-righteous heiress knows, a good TV must feature a white gold plating and at least 160 diamonds totaling to a minimum of 20 carats. Think differently and you might just end up dodging Blackberries with the rest of the help.
So, you were planning on spending some serious money on an LCD TV, right? Well, how about $130,000? Does that sound about right?

This YALOS Diamond LCD TV from Keymat is arguably the most expensive LCD TV ever made. This one of a kind television screen features not just a diamond or two, but 160 diamonds, totaling more than 20 carats. I am sure you will also appreciate the white gold plating as well.

Whew, now that’s an LCD TV an heiress can be proud of!
Its time to compare your LCD TV by carats instead of inches. The Yalos Diamond is the perfect gadget for the ‘bling-thing lovers’ to liven up their home entertainment system.

The 20-carat Yalos Diamond is the costliest LCD TV in the world that incorporated 160 diamonds. The punk beast will be displayed on the stand of Italian Keymat Industrie at Berlin IFA 2006.
The Yalos Diamond TV was presented at the IFA2006 event back in September, it comes with white gold plus 160 diamonds and is suppose to be the most expensive TV on the world costing €100,000 (close to $128,000).

Besides the bling-bling, there are different models that differ in size but all feature a LCD screen with a contrast ratio of 1200:1. This expensive product is produced by the Italian mafia company - Keymat Industrie.

There will be 5 models available in the near future: 32, 37, 40, 46 and 52-inches.
The 20 carats of YALOS Diamond, the ultimate cult object with 160 real diamonds, will be exhibited in 400 square meters stand of the Italian Keymat Industrie s.p.a. at the International Fair of Berlin IFA Fair Hall 2.5, Stand 101, from September first to September 6, 2006.

24 Carat gold plated Mac Book Pro laptop

For Apple owners, there's one consistent event that can make their shiny new device seem dull and boring: the replacement of their specific device with a new one from Apple. Now there's a new Apple gadget on the block that literally makes every other Apple device look dull. A company called Computer Choppers has put together a Gold-plated MacBook Pro, with an appropriately diamond studded Apple logo. Should go nicely with your gold plated ... HP ... LaserJet. Yeah. Get ready to sell your house.
Looking for a more upmarket metal finish for your laptop? The 24 carat gold and diamonds MacBook Pro should fit the bill - at a price.

Created by the worryingly-named Computer Choppers, there's an option of a machine with or without the diamonds. The 15-inch diamond machine comes with 2.2GHz or 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 802.11n wireless, up to 4GB of 667MHz DDR2 memory, 160 GB internal drive and an 8x double-layer SuperDrive. There's also a 24 carat gold-plated machine (without the gems), which has a similar specification, but with a satin gold interior.

Interested? Check out Powermax, an Apple authorized reseller, which is selling the Gold & Diamonds model for $8999 and the gold version for $5999.
Computer Choppers has finished their custom 24-carat gold Macbook Pro modification. And it looks just...golden...other than the Apple logo, of course, which houses more diamonds than will allow us to ever send this link to our wife. We actually gave creator Alex Wiley a quick call today to get the lowdown on pricing...and maybe even placed an order of our own. (OK, we totally didn't place an order, but we did get some interesting info).

The swank picture you see above would run you about $7,000 to $8,000. That includes the computer, the 24-carat gold plating process and about three carats in diamonds. Don't have the money? Corners could be cut! Plating alone will run you only about $1,500 as a standalone procedure, and the total package price could drop all the way to $5,500 if you were interested in cubic zirconia diamonds (but she would know, my friend, she would know).

Interestingly enough, the finished blingification adds almost no weight—only a few ounces—mostly from the gems.
Any "filler" can be chosen where the Apple logo once existed. We recommend the always suitable lightning bolt.
But at the end of the day, what's the point of a gold laptop? Is there even a market, or is the story just perfect fodder for an amusing weekend click?
"For these things, I don't even know if there is a good [market]," Wiley said. "This is a first for me, but I'm gearing up to get some more out."
Well, there was at least a market for this particular unit. Because it's already been sold, fanboys.
Computer-choppers present these bling'ed out creations. Each plated in 24kt Gold (and diamonds for the macbook), these gadgets would make anyone stare in envy.

For gadget owners, getting the latest and hottest tech is enough to catch the attention of people close to you but nothing spells "look-at-me" better than these beauties. You can go ho-hum on other people's "regular" iPhones while you blind them with reflections on your gold plated iPhone.

IMHO, great gadgets for High-rollers, although I think it suits women more than men.(you might look like a pimp with all that bling, yo.) But with the rate of how technology is improving, the lives of these gadgets wont last a lifetime (they'd make great displays nonetheless).

Below are pics of each gold-plated gadget.

computer-choppers offer gold plating services on their site. With numerous appearances in popular pc mags and blogs everywhere, their exposure has skyrocketed. New orders keep coming in and we can expect more cool creations from them.
Except for the trademark Apple logo on the lid and LCD screen, every surface of this special edition MacBook Pro is gold plated.

Say hello to the new mod for MacBook Pro notebook. This one is unique in a lot of ways. Not only is it very extreme which makes you question why in the world would anyone do something like this. Secondly, it'd be so expensive that most of us wouldn't even care. But that doesn't stop us from drooling over a '24-carat gold plated Apple MacBook Pro'.


Believe it or not, even the keyboard, the lid, touchpad and the exteriors of the speakers have been given a gold finish. Only part to not get a feel of gold is the screen and the Apple logo. Disappointed? don't be. The case-modders at Computer Shoppers have gone ahead and provided a diamond-encrusted Apple logo on the lid!


Those interested in similar plating on their oh-so-precious electronic paraphernalia can avail the services of Computer Shoppers.
The 24-carat Gold plated MacBook Pro is finally complete and the credit for this goes to the modders at Computer Chopper. Apart from being a high-end deluxe darling with every square-centimeter finished with Gold, it also has the opulence of a Diamond studded Apple logo. If you like your one to be designed according to your style, the work of plating, painting and etching work will cost you about $1200 to $1500 (Not much for a Mac Book over and done with Gold).


The Computer choppers must be blazing with pride after producing such a wonderful thing.
If a gold-plated MacBook Pro isn’t enough, perhaps one with a diamond-encrusted Apple logo will win her heart forever. Approximately 2 carat total weight in diamonds (H/I in color and SI1-2 in clarity with a gold base) make this a true conversation piece and collector’s item, or maybe just the wildest engagement ring anyone has ever been given. The customized MacPro comes complete with a one-year warranty on the hardware, plating, and custom painted keyboard/track pad. Also included are extra case feet, a microfiber cleaning kit, a Radtech Sleevz and …

Every now and then we happen to come across some products aimed directly at those people who have so much money that they really don't know what to do with it. So, if you've already got a yacht, the latest pimped up Brabus Mercedes, a private jet and, why not, your own island, then you probably can also afford a computer mouse worth 18,600 Euro (or 24,180 US dollars), namely the "Diamond Flower" model developed by the well-known Swiss manufacturer of weird and extravagant mouses, Pat Says Now.

So, why is this thing so extremely expensive? Well, the main reason is probably the fact that the "Diamond Flower" is cast from 18-carat white gold and set with 59 brilliants. And we're not talking about some fake or minuscule brilliants, but about 58 stones with a diameter of 2 mm and 1 with the diameter of 4 mm. Moreover, the manufacturer assures us that none of the gems is a "conflict diamond", meaning that none of them comes from certain countries sanctioned by the UN.

Besides being a real piece of jewelry, the mouse doesn't offer any impressive technical specifications. Thus, we're talking about an ordinary 3-button wheel mouse, which connects either via USB or via PS/2 to a PC or Mac system, and sports an 800 dpi resolution. This very impressive (at least at a visual level) mouse is available in 2 models, the aforementioned "Diamond Flower" model, as well as the "Scattered Diamond", which sports the same number of brilliants, but this time scattered all around the surface of the mouse. So, what do you think? Would you pay that kind of money for this thing?
Pat Says Now, a Swiss manufacturer of individual computer mice has designed a mouse which is embedded with all kind of fancy jewelry. For about $24180, it seems that it's world's costly mouse. It comes in white, red or yellow gold with 59 brilliant-cut scattered diamonds or a diamond flower design or you can have it with black or white trim. I think it'll work wonders when paired with a million dollar PC. As far as usability is concerned, the three button optical wheel mouse features a resolution of 800dpi and works on a Windows / Mac based PC.
Price:
£12,400.00
($24,180.00 USD)
10,39,740 Indian Rupees (Approx)

Bugatti Most Expensive Car In The World

What is the most expensive car in the world? The 1931 Bugatti Royale Kellner Coupe was sold for $8,700,000 in 1987. However, that car and many alike will not be included in this list because it is not available on the market today. It is hard to imagine someone would actually spend 8 million dollars on a car instead of using it for something more productive. However, if you have the money and the opportunity, you will definitely spend a small fraction of it to place a few of these supercars in your garage. Here is the 10 most expensive cars available on the market.

Bugatti Veyron $1,192,057. This is by far the most expensive street legal car available on the market today. It is the fastest accelerating car reaching 0-60 in 2.5 seconds. It claims to be the fastest car with a top speed of 253 mph+. However, the title for the fastest car goes to the SSC Ultimate Aero which exceed 253 mph pushing this car to 2nd place for the fastest car.

Produced by a small independent company in Italy, the Pagani Zonda C12 F is the 8th fastest car in the world. It promises to delivery a top speed of 215 mph+ and it an reach 0-60 in 3.5 seconds.

Don’t let the price tag fool you, the 3rd most expensive car is actually fastest street legal car in the world with a top speed of 257 mph+ and reaching 0-60 in 2.7 seconds. This baby cost nearly half as much as the Bugatti Veyron, yet has enough power to top the most expensive car in a speed race. It is estimated that only 25 of this exact model will ever be produced.

Doesn’t this look like a race car? Yet, with $645k, you can get this car and legally drive to your local supermarket and buy groceries. It has a top speed of 229 mph+ and although it was intentionally made for racing, it may be bought and show off to your neighbors.

The first true American production certified supercar, this cowboy is rank #4 for the fastest car in the world. It has a top speed of 248 mph+ and it can reach 0-60 in 3.2 seconds. If you are a true American patriot, you can be proud to show off this car.
Swedish made, the Koenigsegg is fighting hard to become the fastest car in the world. Currently the 3rd fastest car in the world with a top speed of 250 mph+, the car manufacture Koenigsegg is not giving up and will continue to try and produce the fastest car.

A supercar with dynamic stability control and a top speed of 209 mph+ and it can reach 0-60 in 3.9 seconds. The Porsche Carrera GT applies the absolute calibers of a true racing car to offer an unprecedented driving feeling on the road.

Bugatti Veyron Or Bugatti Royale

There is speculation Bugatti Automobiles is developing a second model of the Bugatti Veyron supercar that is estimated to cost a whopping 3 million US Dollars! I even saw some referring this new Bugatti Veyron as the most expensive car in the world. But is it really the most expensive car in the world? If not which car is the world's most expensive car?

I remember when it came out some sites and papers were saying the current Bugatti Veyron which is US$1.5 million was the world's most expensive car. At that price Bugatti Veyron is certainly one of the most expensive cars (its the fastest accelerating and most powerful street going car in the world) but it is another Bugatti that seems to be most expensive car ever.

According to what I could find from a little searching the real most expensive car in the world is this 1930 Bugatti Type 41 Royale.

The Type 41 Royale was Bugatti's most outrageous car. It was also his most exclusive, as only six were ever manufactured. Each had considerable presence due their massive length, 12 litre engine and huge wheels.One of the most expensive cars in the world is the Type 41 Coupe de Ville Napoleon. It was the first Royale made, and was Ettore Bugatti's personal transportation. It eventually ended up with the Schlumpf brothers, and still resides in their Mulhouse Museum.The Kellener-bodied Royale still holds the world record for fetching $8 700 000 USD at Christie's Auction in 1983. When adjusted for inflation, this price would be over 16 million, a price which only other Royales, or the Rolls Royce Silver Ghost, could eclipse

Vertu's Signature Cobra Phone

Now here's a phone that not only feels heavy in your pocket, but actually burns several holes in it! Vertu unleased its Signature Cobra series of cell phones complete with diamond and ruby embellishments. Which sorta gives it an ugly look and feel. But hey, if that's your thing, go right ahead and splurge.
Designed by Frenchman Boucheron, the Signature Cobra is made from a pear-cut diamond, a round white diamond, two emerald eyes and all of 439 rubies. Count 'em yourself.
If that's not mind-boggling, take a look at the price tag: US $310,000. That's right, kids. Well okay, they do have a discounted version running for $115,000, so if you're not upper crust enough, you might want to settle for this baby.

Vertu's Signature Cobra Cellphone can be yours for only $310,000. Cheaper version sells for $ 115,000. Created with various diamonds and 439 rubies.
I am honored to introduce our next cellphone; Vertu’s Signature Cobra. I don’t know much about the phone features but I know it’s expensive. What is the Cobra? The Signature Cobra is a luxurious cellphone encrusted with precious rocks by French jeweler Boucheron and it cost $310,000 USD. Why? The Signature Cobra is a ritzy gadget made from one pear-cut diamond, one round white diamond, two emerald eyes and 439 rubies. Does it feature speaker phone, streaming video, or a nice to-do list? I’ve come to this conclusion. Do features matter when an overprice cellphone is worth more than the average home?

For the savvy, intelligent, and bargain shopper does this make an impression? NO. It’s a Paris Hilton phone marketed to those who love the bling lifestyle. The Signature Cobra, as one might observe, is merely a regular phone laced with expensive rocks. It’s the equivalent of crystallizing an apple or some other fruit. A once ordinary object is now engulfed with shinny specs of light which glitter from every angle. If you can’t afford the $310,000 model a cheaper version is available for an affordable $115,000 USD. Thanks to the discount, .5% of the world’s population can now afford it. Vertu, the luxury phone company that creates and markets the Signature Cobra, is now taking orders which are currently limited to 8, but only 26 Signature Cobras will be made for the lucky few who make that decision.
FYI: According to Wikipedia.com, Vertu is an independently run fully owned subsidiary of the phone manufacturer Nokia.
