No PC is worth $32,000, even if it\'s covered in gold

Attention, rich idiots! Would you spend tens of thousands of dollars on a PC of indiscriminate quality just because it was coated in gold and gems? Yes? Ugh. Well, if you must, here are some.

Gaiser High End Design PCs range from $7,820 to $32,300, and it isn't because they've got such great components. No, it's because they have 24 carat parpartial gilding with gold leaf. And what happens when the computer becomes obsolete? I guess you just buy another one, right? Totally worth it!

As an added bonus, they're SUPER FREAKIN' UGLY!! Hey, Diddy, here's the PC for you!

Or, you know, just RE-USE the case.

I'm still running out of an old beige box, which gets really amusing when friends discover it can run the latest games with power to spare.

lol Anyone willing to spend this much money on that pc is most likely NOT going to re-use the case. They have enough cash to keep buying new pc's.

Add a glowing apple logo and I might consider it. ;-)

Gold leaf isn't really very expensive and electroplating it takes about five minutes.

A sheet of it that is 5x5" is only about five bucks, so you're probably paying a premium of about $32,000.

On the other hand, if that dude sells one of those, he's paid for his business plus a nice new Honda Fit.

You've got to be an idiot to spend so much money on this PC. It doesn't even come with a monitor, mouse or keyboard. I'd much rather send a few grand on modding a Macbook pro or imac and have it run as fast as this thing with half the cost. plus you can add gold to anything. It's not as expensive as these guys would like to think. Rich people don't know jack about technology, so this is a simple and easy way to get them to buy something tthey think is amazing, VIP status. http://ziggytek.com/
