Sep 8 2008 Accessorize!: Handmade Nintendo Jewelry
Well snap crackle folks, two Zelda related posts in one day! Pop. Anyway, some guy made a bunch of Nintendo/Zelda jewelry for himself and his lady friend. Check it out after the jump, there's Triforces, a couple Zelda shields, a Metroid pendant, and some controllers. Did I mention I love accessorizing? It's true, I'm a jewelry nut. I even pierced my own ears -- with a bow and arrow! I am the hardcorest. Ask Robin Hood if you don't believe me, I wish I looked good in tights.
Hit the jump for more shiny jewelry than you could shake a silver spoon at.

Jan 31 2008 Buy This Computer And I Will Hunt You Down
Zeus Computers, which I'm pretty sure was a company set up to steal money from stupid rich people, is selling two ridiculously priced ridiculous computers. The first one is platinum and is studded with diamonds to resemble constellations. It is stupid and costs about $750,000. The second computer, priced at a modest $560,000 is gold with diamond accents. What kind of computer bang do you get for that buck?
Intel’s 3GHz E6850 Core 2 Duo CPU, 2GB of DDR 2 memory and a whopping 1TB hard drive. Zeus clearly hasn’t made its mind up over which format will win the HD war, so it includes a dual Blu-ray/HD DVD drive. The PC runs on Windows Vista, Ultimate edition of course, and ships with a 24in 1920 x 1200 resolution monitor.
Pretty impressive huh? Nope, it's not. I swear if anybody buys one of these I will hack the company's database, get the customer's information, hunt them down and steal their computer. Then I'll do something sensible with the machine, like melt it down and make a wicked set of grillz. Then I can finally make the video for my rap song. It's called I Love Dem Gadget N Gizmo Hoes.
Is this the world's most expensive desktop PC? [registerhardware]

Dec 13 2007 Contura: Diplay Your Profile In Ring Form
The Contura ring is a ring that displays your face in profile along the entirety of the band. You send the company a picture of your (or a loved one's) facial profile and it's custom cut into a ring. Prices start at $625 for stainless steel and go up to $5,730 for platinum. Neat, but I'm skeptical as to how accurate they are, and I suspect that they really just sell two rings - generic male and female ones. So I'm going to put them to the test. I'm sending them a picture with my tongue sticking out, a wicked goatee, and a unicorn horn affixed to my forehead. If it turns out to not be a hoax, at least I'll be getting my money's worth.
