Moneual for a million: Jewelry PC demands dramatic pricetag

We weren't aware that the "world's first million dollar personal computer" was quite such an envious title to achieve, but Moneual labs seems to think it's something to be proud of. Titled the Jewelry PC, Moneual's unit will be in one of two styles by jewelry designer Lee Charles Buckingham, and will include real diamonds and other precious jewels on top of what looks to be an otherwise boring home theater PC. The J PC runs a Core 2 Duo or Athlon 64 FX, Windows Vista Ultimate, 8GB of DRAM, NVIDIA GeForce 8800GTX 768MB of RAM, 2TB of 7,200 SATA storage, Blu-ray or HD DVD drive and plenty more trimmings like a 7-inch built-in screen, TV tuner and 7.1-channel sound. No word on HDTV tuners, which could be a bit of a deal breaker for anyone with the kind of cash to burn to buy a million dollar media PC. Moneual also has a few "low end" models running for $30k each in an 100 PC limited run: the Baroque 18k gold PC, the Renaissance white and yellow gold PC, and the Rococo, with white and yellow gold -- all of 'em naturally encrusted jewels galore. We can't even drop our usual "well, someone will buy it" line for this one, thanks to the outlandish prices and unimpressive devices, but we fear the worst.

See that big dial studded with tiny little diamonds? I would gladly rip that out, then proceed to smack anyone who'd be stupid enough to buy this in the face with it.

Give the money to charity or something, for crying out loud there are people starving in the world!!!!

I think this is a bit bling. On a more positive note - it's about time we had nice PC designs. If Macs can do it why not PC's. A came across some good ones at this site www.customcomputa.co.uk - more sophisticated designs. I like the idea of a media centre pc where, your tv, music, video and stalitte all rolled in to one.

looks like a 6th grade summer school craft project... those diamonds could be plastic beads for crying out loud... bloody fugly...

Actually I have a $1M PC for sale also. The specs are somewhat different but nonetheless I'll accept $1M from anyone willing to pay it. This thing is certainly highend but I can't see anything from the specs that would demand anything near this pricetag. Oh well I guess they're following the Monster Cable plan. All you have to do is convince someone you're giving them 'cleaner bits' and the customers own self delusion will do the rest.

Yuck. Not only is it over priced for the tech involved it's hideous. Am I the only one that thinks it looks a bit 70s or 80s -ish? I can think of so many better things to do with pretty rocks.

It looks like something me niece would design - she's three.

YOu guys shouldn't be so judgemental about this, you never know how many hours was put into this and how important it could be to somebody. If you had a dream, wouldn't you go for it too?

I think this particular model is a bit bling. On a more positive note - it's about time we had nice PC designs. If Macs can do it why not PC's. A came across some good ones at this site www.customcomputa.co.uk - more sophisticated designs. I like the idea of a media centre pc where, your tv, music, video and sky tv all rolled in to one.
