Game News - The insanely-expensive, but useless gaming PC

It'll cost you about 80,000,000 yen ($7,487.20), but you'll get a gold or silver casing  and... a 256MB GeForce 8400GS...

Yeah, this Chinese site offers for sale two so-called "gaming rigs", one of them costing no less than 80 million yen, but the only thing worth mentioning about it is the casing... Which, as you can see in the pictures is very shiny and small...

Dubbed Mars and Jupiter, the two models apparently include an Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 3.00Ghz CPU, a 256MB GeForce 8400GS video card and 2048MB DDR2-SDRAM. As mentioned before, the most expensive one costs approximately $7,487.20 (but why is it the silver one? isn't gold more precious than silver?). By comparison, an Alienware Area 51 m15x laptop capable of Extremely High Definition (1200p), customized with an External Creative X-Fi Xtreme Audio Card, 2x Dual Layer Blu-ray Disc Burner (BD-R, DVD±RW, CD-RW), 200GB 7200RPM (16MB Cache), 4GB Dual Channel DDR2 SO-DIMM at 667MHz, Intel Core 2 X7900 2.8GHz – Extreme Edition (4MB Cache 800MHz FSB) , 512MB NVIDIA GeForce 8800M GTX and a 15.4" WideUXGA 1920 x 1200 LCD (1200p) and Windows Vista Home Premium "barely" reaches $4,623 on Alienware's site.

OK, I bet you are now thinking at ordering two of those silverish PCs aren't ya? And I know why: they come with Windows Vista Ultimate installed... Gotcha...
