Pimp My Dell Mod Burns Our Eyes, Plates Our Teeth

We'll give it an A for effort. But man, this "Pimp My Dell" case mod is...well let's just say that it has "Dell" written in rhinestones. And it's covered in what we believe to be 35% of the world's supply of gold spray paint. The "pimp inside" logo, however, is admittedly fantastic.

For those who love Cadillacs and what is sure to be a few years worth of paint-high, today is your day. For those who to know what's actually under the hood, hit the jump.
