Tokyo-based Zeus Computer is reaching out to deep-pocketed celebrities and the nouveau riche with a line of luxury personal computers housed in bejeweled cases crafted from precious metals. The selection includes an 80 million yen ($760,000) pure platinum "Jupiter" model and a more modestly priced 60 million yen ($570,000) solid gold "Mars" model, both of which feature a blaze of inset diamonds patterned to look like the zodiac constellations and the Milky Way. The cases contain a 3GHz Intel Core 2 Duo E6850-powered machine with a 256MB GeForce 7200GS VGA card, a 1000GB serial ATA hard drive, 2048MB of memory, a Blu-ray/HD-DVD optical drive and more, and Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate OEM comes pre-installed -- but who's going to look inside?

I'd rather use all that money to make a PC with awesome specs rather than for looks. Spending six digits mostly for the casing just ain't worth it.

Wow, but I really can't think of what kind of people buy those. I mean, you really need to be quite vulgar in terms of taste. It surprises me that there is even a market for these kinds of things, which there seems to be. Geekologie often has post on diamon encrusted water bottles etc. I guess you only need a couple customers to make it worthwhile.
