If gold is your
thing -- your
luster of choice, you might say -- then NDS Central's latest addition to its
SHOCK! series of replacement DS Lite cases is
just what you need. Unlike the
Phantom Hourglass edition DSes, these Magnum Gold shells reportedly contain
real gold, having actually gone through the gold-plating process. The online shop plans to release its Magnum Golds early next year and is already accepting preorders for the cases for $59.90.
If you're going to spend that much cash modifying your DS to show off your
rapper status, why not go all out and glue on some gaudy rhinestones? While you're at it, you should have the system
engraved with big script letters: "Doing It Big." When people ask what exactly it is that you're "doing big," you can tell them that it's your bad taste.

I don't even think real gold plating will make the casual onlooker believe your DS is actually coated in gold... you'll need to embed some shiny gems, at the very least.
Also, I've heard that the SHOCK cases are both hard to install AND of a thinner plastic than the original DS Lite shells (based one a few reviews given by people who have bought and used them). I'd been looking into these things to fix the cracked hinge on my DS, but have since decided it's not worth the effort and possibly decreased durability.
