Diamond and gold PCs class up the floor under your desk

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.

[captain underpants and the bringdown gang @ Jan 29th 2008 2:36PM]

now excuse me as I have to wipe my ass with the hopes and dreams of the lower class.

[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.

[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?

[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.

[Holger @ Jan 30th 2008 2:42AM]

and why that crappy gfx card? dammit for that kind of cash I'd want a watercooled powerhouse...

[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 2:45AM]

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
