International gold-plating company Goldgenie showed off the design in London at the beginning of April.

He said: "For what it is, we actually think it's good value for money."

The swish customised computer comes with a lifetime guarantee and takes 28 days to cover in gold.

Roomes says they have "sold a couple to Russia so far, and these are WEALTHY business people that have everything".

Goldgenie expects customers from Russia and the Middle East to snap up the luxury computers - which cost nearly 10 times more than your average 27-inch iMac.

This isn't all the London-based company has been asked to cover in gold. Some of their strangest requests have been for gold nipple rings, tattoo guns, and even toilets.

Goldgenie has previously collaborated with celebrities such as Elton John and Frank Lampard on a number of blinged-out Apple products.

Meanwhile, one Saudi motorist went for an even bigger statement in March this year, with a fleet of gold supercars. Hopefully he had enough cash left over to pay his parking fines.

However, if it's a different kind of gadget you're after, check out this gold plated vibrator, with a particularly creepy twist.
