Are you ready to spend more than half a mil for your computer?

If money is not a problem for you and you have already bought a couple of islands and some land on the Moon and Mars, here is what your next acquisition should be: the $600,000 Personal Computer! It's not a joke, not even a mistake: six hundred thousand US dollars for ONE computer. So... do you think it's worth it?

According to bingegamer.net, it doesn't. Indeed, it has a 3.00Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB RAM, 24-in-1 disc reader, and a CD/DVD/Blu-Ray player, but don't expect to play Crysis with maximum details on this toy, since it only uses the sound output onboard the ASUS P5KPL MATX motherboard, and the graphics card is the nVidia 7200GS. Then, you might ask, what is the reason it costs as much as an island in the Pacific.

Well, the towers are made of pure gold or platinum, with diamonds embedded in the molding lines. The prices might vary between $560,000 and $750,000 and, probably, if you want to buy both the gold and the platinum ones, you'll get a $10 discount. It's just a guess, though. If you want to check it out, anyway, go check the Japanese website Zeus Computers.

Another funny thing regarding these obscenely expensive computer system is represented by their names: the gold one is called Mars and the platinum - Jupiter. And, if you think for a while, you might realize that you could actually buy the real planets for all these money. But, again, you can't play (yet) NFS or CoD on Mars or Jupiter. And they're not made in Japan, packed with diamonds and shipped straight to your front door.

So, if you have the money, go make a bid. Just have in mind when you do it that with the exact sum you could buy about 12,000 games or lifetime subscriptions for all the MMO's on the market. But none of these have diamonds. What a pity!
