Ed Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Colorware, famous for their highly rated custom paint jobs on Macs, iPods and the like, are now offering the latest updated Mac Minis with Core 2 Duo processors in their range of custom colours. Check it out here. Shipping is available overseas - for anyone, like me, in the UK who's interested in importing one, shipping is $245, and you'll have to add VAT @ 17.5% to the total US$ price. You'll also need to cop your self a Mac Mini power adaptor which clocks in at about £40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whocares Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 $245 for shipping??!!?? What do they do? Put it on an actual airplane seat in first class? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Posted August 12, 2007 Author Share Posted August 12, 2007 lol, your comment makes me picture an air hostess offering nuts to a very comfy black Mac Mini planted on a 1st class seat I think it's to cover themselves in the event of a problem, i.e. if the machine goes wrong you can return it at their cost - but obviously they're gonna cover themselves. I guess they're basically taking the stance that if you want their product that badly and you're outside the States, that's the price you gotta pay to make it worth their while, which is fair enough innit. -Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwight F Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 For you UK folks for the extra $245 you might do better to go to an autobody shop and have them do a nice airbrush and clearcoat job. You think Prowler purple looks pimp? How 'bout some pink flames! Or dragons and a Tiger. I'll stop there with linking the possibilities because this is somewhat of a family site.

damirko Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 OMG they are expensive. For example, coloring the iPhone costs 600$, which is as much as the phone itself costs (or even more, depending on a version). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Posted August 12, 2007 Author Share Posted August 12, 2007 hey damirko, I just checked the iPhone page on Colorware's website and they have a 'Send in yours' option for colouring your existing iPhone for $149. They'll sell you a coloured iPhone for $649/$749 depending on whether you go for the 4GB or 8GB version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
