Wow. If you though the customized MacBook Air from aptly named "Crystal Icing" molested the laptop's ultra-clean design, check out this number.

Dubbed "Golden Age," this custom Air has no fewer than 12,000 Swarovski crystals that are "specially coated with 24k gold from underneath so that the transparent crystals can reflect the true gold color," according to Pocket-lint. Classy. Designed by an outfit called "Bling My Thing"--we kid you not--it supposedly was inspired by a traditional Japanese pattern.

The best thing about it is its exclusivity, as only 20 of them will be sold, starting in the U.K. on March 18, for 20,000 pounds (or about $39,700). That means we'll probably never be forced to look at one in real-life.
