SolidAlliance's $850 MOTTAINAI USB drive: 2GB of flash

Oh hell yeah! One-upping their own lurid kitsch, SolidAlliance just introduced this ¥100,000 ($850 plus), MOTTAINAI USB flash drive. Obviously, at 2GB it's not about capacity here, this gold and brass drive is a salute to ostentatious pomp with embedded Statsuma Kiriko crystal. Make them crystals spin Solid-A and we might pop for a few ourselves. Now come on dear readers, admit it, which one of you designed it?

FYI, 'mottainai' means 'wasteful' or 'too good for me/you'.

Gold and Brass? Why have both on the same thing?

I think this is meant as a joke. "Mottainai" means "what a waste!" in Japanese.
