Most of the
questionably-
ostentatious gear we see is designed for use on the go -- why else spark out your kit if not to blind your frenemies at the club? -- but at some point even
Diddy runs out of handhelds to ice up, which is where Japan's Zeus Computer steps in. The company is offering two different glam desktops for your wallet's delight: an ¥80,000,000 ($747,768) diamond-studded model, or (for cheapskates) a ¥60,000,000 ($560,826) gold version. Both offer a 3GHz E6850 Core 2 Duo on an Asus board with 2GB of RAM, a 256MB GeForce 8400GS, 1TB drive, Blu-ray + HD DVD combo drive, and Vista Ultimate -- but that's not at all what matters here, is it?

For that money they don't even give you 4GB?
Warstrider @ Jan 29th 2008 2:33PM
If you are spending 1/2 million dollars on a machine, you'd at least expect to get decent kit inside it. Complete sh*te
Reader @ Jan 29th 2008 9:16PM
My thought is quite the opposite, I'm surprised they bothered to put a PC in there at all.
Don Giovanni @ Jan 30th 2008 7:13AM
For 1/2 million dollars they'ld better provide me with a decent monitor.. preferably over 32"
derX @ Jan 29th 2008 2:35PM
C'mon, I know what *all* of us are thinking, I saying it:
IT'S ABOUT TIME!
I mean, I've been looking at my gold-plated, Swarovski-crystalled, D&G'd RAZR and thought: I need a computer to match this. It's a miracle, God truly does answer prayers.

now excuse me as I have to wipe my ass with the hopes and dreams of the lower class.
Fernando @ Jan 29th 2008 2:54PM
I am going to use my suit made of $100 bills that I had custom tailored to me after I won the lottery to pay for this. I just hope that the salesman don't get blinded by my teeth that I had taken out and replaced with Diamonds XD
DT @ Jan 29th 2008 2:55PM
Estimated sales: 0
David @ Jan 29th 2008 3:17PM
What about mice and keyboards, I think that a diamond studded 42" display would go nice with that. (Of course I would like 8880 Ultra SLi, 4GB RAM, (maybe even OSX........Nah) better)
Goopy @ Jan 29th 2008 11:14PM
how about 8800 ultra tri SLI in gold case.....I bet it will melt away after 10 mins of playing games
ReggieXuk @ Jan 29th 2008 3:22PM
whoever buy one of these knows nothing about computers
Jeff @ Jan 29th 2008 3:27PM
Are you refering to the MBA-to-be owners?
Joe V @ Jan 29th 2008 3:27PM
The top one has a platinum case. I think they're both diamond-encrusted.
The King of Sweden has one of these. That's why Minnie the Moocher loves him so much.
Jeff @ Jan 29th 2008 3:32PM
So they're selling nondescript blobs of computer-rendered gold and platinum?
wtf are those pictures of?
Chebwa @ Jan 29th 2008 3:38PM
lol
I've spent too much of my time today staring at that photo.
Curtis @ Jan 29th 2008 3:48PM
Your right, I could make one of these in 5 seconds with Maya...My guess as to why is because they know no one will want them so they didn't make one to take pictures of.
Don Giovanni @ Jan 29th 2008 11:39PM
According to the diagram, top one is jupiter and the bottom one is mars :-\
I should make a gold plated case and sell it for 3/4 the price
Josh Havener @ Jan 29th 2008 4:20PM
Better yet... just get a bunch of gold leaf...
rv @ Jan 29th 2008 4:20PM
where do you put the discs?
Or is it all a permeable membrane and can be inserted anywhere?
Devon @ Jan 29th 2008 4:21PM
Wow for that money i'd hope to get more than an 8400GS!!!!! Come on....REALLY?!
z3r0D @ Jan 29th 2008 8:59PM
has shit for a proccesser too. If i were dumping half a mill +, i'd expect at least those new penryns.
Bizam! @ Jan 29th 2008 4:23PM
No biggie, I'll just get one of these and toss it in the garbage in 6 months when the hardware gets out of date. I'm sure the people rummaging through old U.S. electronics landfills in China would love to find one.
ThomasPrescott @ Jan 29th 2008 5:29PM
For that money at least pimp out the computer. Seriously, a nVidia 8400GS? At least put a couple 8800 ultras with SLI... 8400GS is an insult, my computer has better!
Stephen Wilson @ Jan 29th 2008 7:23PM
it comes with this monitor
http://www.provantage.com/eizo-s2411w-m-bk~7EIZL05L.htm
Woohoo! Now I'm definitely getting one!
Reader @ Jan 29th 2008 9:20PM
For that amount of money I want to be able to play Crysis on maximum everything... with 3 instances opened simultaneously.
Holger @ Jan 30th 2008 2:42AM
and why that crappy gfx card? dammit for that kind of cash I'd want a watercooled powerhouse...
Holger @ Jan 30th 2008 2:45AM
hehe well we can all laugh at this, but some silly new rich people are gonna buy it, seriously too many super rich loose all their marbles once they get rich.
lowdowndirty @ Jan 30th 2008 8:22AM
The calibre of person who might buy such a ridiculous thing...
Rich Knob: What's that shiny article over there?
Assistant: That sir, is Jupiter; our top of the line diamond encrusted computer which...
Rich Knob: And how much for your anus?
Assistant: I'm afraid we don't have any for sale at the moment sir.
Rich Knob: Well, when do 'we' get off work so I can buy some?
Steele @ Jan 30th 2008 11:12AM
That really crushed my spirits as its worth more than triple what i spent on my new house... ouch my wallet is heartbroken!!!
Kabitokaii @ Jan 30th 2008 11:05PM
Wow, and i just wanted something that would run my network...i think ill go home and cry now to the gods of computers to make stupid companies in japan think about what their doing before they actually do it
Ed @ Jan 31st 2008 12:17PM
Uh huh. So the computer might be worth even 5K at the absolute high end. 737K for the case?
Wow. You would have to tremendously rich AND stupid to buy that.
tehori @ Jan 31st 2008 7:10PM
what a dumb-shit idea, you would have to be Paris Hilton to buy that crap, I wouldn't buy that even if I had infinite money, I would just buy a Mac Pro and max out the specs and then give it a 3-way 8800Ultra SLi (hacked of course)
GhiSLaiN @ Feb 11th 2008 3:16PM
what a rip off, it's not even quad core
