Eazo desktops offer ultra-luxe style at merely super-luxe prices

For those of you too cheap to pony up for that $700,000 diamond-encrusted Jupiter desktop we saw yesterday, China's Eazo is willing to throw down the luxe for less than a tenth of the price -- which still means the X70, pictured here, stil costs $45,500, but hey. The distinctive machine features a 3GHz Q9550 Core 2 Quad, two NVIDIA 8800GTX graphics cards, 4GB of RAM, light-up liquid cooling, a 10,000rpm 150GB drive backed up by a 7,200rpm 500GB drive, 7.1-channel sound, and Vista Ultimate, all wrapped up in an easy-access case with pneumatic door hinges. Of course, you can custom-configure systems well past the $70K mark (and down to just $9K), but if you're not happy with this stock config, you might want to try yoga or something, Mr. Power Hungry. Check a bunch more shots in the gallery.

And I'd say this machine is worth a lot more than the Jupiter... at least the specs are x10 better.

[David @ Jan 31st 2008 3:36AM]

I don't know... I can probably get this made for two dollars.

[hanalex @ Jan 31st 2008 3:42AM]

for $45,000 this thing should be high quality enough to not contain any lead poisoning.

[LordFarkward @ Jan 31st 2008 4:20AM]

lead is for t3h sux0rs

this thing is so cool that it's made of solidified mercury. you'll die from mercury poisoning instead, but it's all worth it.

[Richard @ Jan 31st 2008 3:50AM]

For that kind of coin, it better have come with the Optimus Prime keyboard.

[Brian @ Jan 31st 2008 3:52AM]

I can't find the website for this rig... can anyone track it down?

[Alijah @ Jan 31st 2008 4:55AM]

...Optimus Prime?
You mean Optimus Maximus.... you winner... you

[JosephMohmed @ Jan 31st 2008 8:08AM]

I'd rather have an Optimus Prime keyboard.

[webon @ Jan 31st 2008 3:54AM]

this must play doom

[Michael LaFramboise @ Jan 31st 2008 4:08AM]

Doom? of course, but the real question is can it run Crysis?

[Zeus.:God @ Jan 31st 2008 9:47AM]

Micheal, you must not get it.

[Eh @ Jan 31st 2008 4:08AM]

The alpha and omega of case mods

[Sp00ks102 @ Jan 31st 2008 11:10AM]

not really, needs the Lamborghini doors...vertical lifting pneumatic doors, that is so last year

[V @ Jan 31st 2008 4:10AM]

So this system has, at most, $3,000 worth of hardware in it. This makes that dumb ass hinged case worth $42,500? You could get a talented case maker to build you a case like that for probably a few thousand. It's amazing to me that people with enough money to buy something like this don't have enough sense not to.

[me @ Jan 31st 2008 4:29AM]

amen jivetrky. I can't believe it took 11 comments for someone to finally say it.

[Eh @ Jan 31st 2008 5:49AM]

I would be surprised if they ever sold a single one, or plan on selling any. What would not surprise me is if this is just a publicity stunt. That crazy price got them on engadget and now more people know who the hell Eazo is.

[mark lee @ Jan 31st 2008 2:30PM]

That's right, I'm sure it's all for the publicity. Engadget shouldn't even report this.
Companies like this make me sick!

[Paris @ Jan 31st 2008 4:53AM]

All that money and they don't even bother to include a SSD? I would have expected an 128GB SSD in place of the 150GB HDD.

[miguel @ Jan 31st 2008 5:04AM]

WHAT!!?? no Optimus Maximus keyboard?!?!?

[romanzy @ Jan 31st 2008 5:36AM]

It enervates me a lot when the guys from Engadget write about a product and don't provide the URL of the product/company.

Here is the link of Eazo http://eazo.com.cn/produce.html

[JosephMohmed @ Jan 31st 2008 8:39AM]

thanks, I'm totally gonna buy one now.

[Ethren @ Jan 31st 2008 5:46AM]

Wait.. what??!?! How'd they get a Q9550 processor?? I've been waiting for months for the new Yorkfields. Have they been released?

[BlissX @ Jan 31st 2008 6:12AM]

It's actually a Q6700 with a piece of paper taped to it saying Q9550.

[Mark Simmons @ Jan 31st 2008 9:57AM]

This is an interesting piece of kit and looks neat but the price point is kind of crazy.

[DvS @ Jan 31st 2008 10:07AM]

That's dumb.

[chris @ Jan 31st 2008 10:21AM]

Seems powerful,it's big-boss's thing.

[MMalecky @ Jan 31st 2008 11:09AM]

Oh god, just read the descriptions in the gallery.

[Peter @ Jan 31st 2008 3:29PM]

Yeah, this thing definitely plays Doom - on your wallet.
Well, the good thing is that at this profit margin it only takes one or two dumb customers and those Eazo people could have a lazy chinese life for a couple of years...
For this kind of bogus price you can probably have someone carve you a PC out of a steel block. Probably even with his bare hands.

[OneLove @ Jan 31st 2008 3:41PM]

Are you kidding? It would have to come with free hardware upgrades for life and hot tech support chicks in tight outfits!
