24-carat PC Costs Up to $32,300

As an encore to yesterday's wacky, over-the-top $1 million pricetag for a single-channel speaker, this time around Gaiser High End offers products that are not quite so pricy but outrageous nonetheless. Naturally big spenders flock to luxury PCs despite what's under the hood, but spending over $32,000 on a PC that emphasizes outward appearance rather than raw processing may be just a little...well, wacky.
Gaiser's Design PC line starts at $7,820, providing luxury PC lovers the option to configure the machine to individual preferences. The entire line offers 24-carat par-partial gilding with gold leaf, cubic zirconium, and diamonds. According to Born Rich, the design09 Tricolor Gold PC, costing $32,300, is the priciest PC in the batch, followed by the design07 Tricolor Gold, 8 Signify for $26,400.
As for what's under the hood, the specs are a little sketchy. The Design PCs seem to provide Intels' Atom dual-core processor and Nvidia's Ion GPU. Additionally, there's mention of HDTV, 5.1 surround sound with SPDIF, 4 GB RAM, and a Blu-ray burner. For storage, the PCs provide a 500 GB hard drive and a 64 GB SSD (exclusive SLC version). The PCs come with Vista pre-installed but offer the free Windows 7 upgrade.
Based on the specs, it sounds as if big spenders are dumping loads of money into a golden nettop rather than a full-fledged PC. Then again, the Blu-ray burner, loads of RAM and an added SSD say otherwise.

The $300 PC
You get what you pay for, right? But what happens if you build a PC on the cheap? We packed two boxes with low-cost AMD and Intel CPUs and other inexpensive components. Guess who dominates the low end?
Watch out Apple, these guys are targeting your demographic.
For 32 grand, I could build several Core i7 machines!
The website is not in English...
For $32,000, I can buy a sick ass i7 build with a kick ass paint job. A new car, and a lifetime supply of Bawls.
Sick!
It's even an Atom! Too stingy to fit a Corei7 in that thing for $32K?
For that price I would expect top components and the entire case being a passive heat sink for the whole system, combining raw power with aesthetics.
For $32K, you should be able to build about 30 Core i7 computers.
People who buy stuff like this... buy gold-plated condoms.
NetTops shouldn't be above $300. I don't think the low end market for this will want it at that price.
An Atom? A FREAKING ATOM?!? For 32 grand? No thanks, I'll just paint my 1200 dollar desktop gold.
People that would buy this pc wont even use it for anything other than ordering freak foods like those grass drinks, kelp, tofu, triangles and setting shrink appointments because they can't understand why others dont like them,though they may catch their staff people, maids, butlers etc actually using it for real people things like porn, games,and learning how to do things for themselves. If i had that kind of cash i would have stuff that is top of the line sure, but not just over the top with no real useful purpose.
This doesn't surprise me in the least. I mean, how many celebrities have gold/diamond/platinum cell phones to match their $10000 wardrobe made by some gay guy? This kind of item is for people who have worked over the capitalist economic system and have 100x more money then they need.
All while welfare lines get bigger. Maybe if it weren't for republican income tax breaks for the wealthy implemented by Satan, errr Bush, they would spend the $300,332,000 sitting in their bank and invest it in expanding their business and hiring more people instead of buying $500,000 cars and $32,000 net-tops.
This is simply so a rich man can say, "i got a computer built of gold beat that".
for that price why not build a super computer...
Don't forget, the guy with the dead animal on his head (Trump) has a gold toilet... bet this shit still stinks.
But, can it run Crysis?
Wow......imagine how great Vista must run on an Atom CPU....who cares about 4Gb of RAM and a Blu-Ray burner. Think it will even be able to burn a DVD at 16x without making coasters? Keep this $32k pile of junk on your desk then connect your KVM to a $500 shuttle machine hidden underneath. Otherwise you'll look like a total tool when your computer, that is worth more than most people's car, takes 8 minutes to idle at the desktop.
Surprising..... this obnoxiously indulgent netbook wanna-be isn't made by an American company.
People who buy stuff like this... buy gold-plated condoms.
and need to use both so rarely they dont notice how useless a thing they have bought..
Bet these are popular in dubai
Fantastic! Atom cpu! I wonder what the gold is worth (as in its weight, as it's only guilded not soldid gold), I bet there is a HUUUUUGE margin on this tosh. Nob head footballers and mid east oil tycoons will be queing up for this crap :-)
dammit "solid". Get an edit button toms
Atom, and gold leaf...I doubt they are using more then $1000 in components. Duno what the labor is, but i bet someone could crank it out in a couple hours. Probably at least 30,000 profit.
Whoever buys this POS deserves to be gouged. People that have the $ to buy this thing often don't have the brains to tell them not to. Price != value
RIPOFF 32k for me means 2 computers 1 with a quad 295 gtx sli i7 overclock
2nd one quad TESLA yes TESLA GPU QUAD SLI with i7 overclock they would be like the 2 fastest computers in south florida
$400 computer with a $31,600 case?
If people are that dumb, fu** em; more power to the company exploiting the ignorant.
Really, you think?
Many of the "rich" dumb people got their money by screwing normal people over, or money from the family or oil company.... or they can play football.
It's gonna be obsolete in a year and you'll have a 32k paperweight.
But, can it run Crysis?
With an atom and an ion probably not. Well maybe with everything on low. For a 32k PC you'd think they would put a decent CPU and GPU in there. It's just a really expensive net top.
For the person who has everything, a gold plated computer! 'bout like that solid gold toilet
But seriously.... who would spend 32k on a not-so-fast computer that is solid (or plated) gold, when you could either buy a supercomputer, or even a whole render farm!
Anyone purchasing one of these products is about as ignorant and pretentious as mac fanboys.
... and I bet it will BSOD like any other $500.00 generic PC.
I think this is rediculous. Completely excessivie.
I have had a few clients that want to spend a little extra (thousands) to clean up the look of a tower as their HTPC. I have NEVER been asked about making it look 'pretty,' as if it eminated from a jeweler. I have always been asked to make the computer disappear into the entertainment console: They don't want to see it or hear it. Just enjoy it.
Hey now! As a Mac fanboi I take personal offense to Aoster's comment...You need more than just an over-priced computer to be as pretentious as me. For that you would need to have one of the best marketing teams in the world, a matching set of peripherals that are just as good as they are cliche, three operating systems, a coffee shop and probably a beret...
As for the ignorant part, well I will get back to you as soon as I find out what the word means...
