Some of you have probably seen this:
http://www.kotaku.com/images/2006/04/customcroft360.jpg
Gamerscoreblog lists its value at $11,000, with 43,000 crystals on it. I can believe it. 10 gross, or 1,440 crystals, cost about $40. That means there's roughly $1,200 in crystals on this mutha/ And obviously, a crapload of labor. It was custom designed for Eidos, and Eidos and Microsoft worked together to make it happen.
So here's the question. Two questions, actually:
1) Forgetting the crystal part, but if you were going to do up a whole case (I'm assuming only one SIDE of the case, the top side) in any art medium, what would you put on it?
2) If you WERE going to do a whole side in crystals, and faceplate too obviously, what would you do?
My answer to both is this:
