Fantastically Expensive Pieces Of Video Game Equipment

If you have three quarters of a million dollars clogging up your bank account, then this could be the piece of gaming equipment for you. There is literally no real reason to own the Zeus PC, other than you have far too much money and far too little sense. With a platinum case that is encrusted with diamonds, the rig will set you back ¥80 million. That’s roughly $750,000 for a PC that you could easily get, minus the jewelry, for under $1,000.

This 4K projector from Sony has clearly been designed for those who think that the ultra HD resolution deserves more space than a mere television screen can handle. The device, which obviously supports the PlayStation 4 and all other major consoles, can send out an image that stretches 100 inches when placed less than a foot away from the wall. The only problem is that it costs a staggering $25,000, meaning it might be cheaper just to rent out the local cinema every time you want to play. 

The Emperor 200 is a gaming chair that consists of an Italian leather seat, three 27-inch LED monitors, a Bose sound system, and a touch screen control center. Not only that, but the manufacturer will even build it to your exact specifications so that it is a perfect fit for your height and weight. You know, just like when you buy a Rolls Royce. It’s hard to imagine who would need this $49,150 piece of equipment, especially when you could buy a top-end PC, every major console, and thousands of games for the same price.

The Nintendo Wii was one of the most successful home consoles of all time, selling more than 100 million units. Stuart Hughes decided to create a high-end version of the console for people who simply can’t make do with the basic one. The Wii Supreme costs almost half a million dollars and includes 2.5 kilograms of 22-carat gold and a collection of flawless diamonds. 

Gaming chairs have become increasingly popular over the past few years as players look for a more immersive experience. While most are reasonably affordable, some are a bit more outlandish. For example, the D-BOX gaming chair is a $15,000 accessory that has built-in surround sound, force feedback controls, and a motion system to mimic on-screen movement. So if you can persuade your partner that you don’t need that home renovation, this could be your brand new toy.

The most interesting thing about the Aurum 24K by British company Yoyotech is that the price hasn’t been artificially raised because it is made from precious metals or minerals. Instead, its expense comes solely from the high-spec parts that it is made from. With a sophisticated water-cooling system, 64GB of RAM, a 2TB hard drive, and the latest processors, it was the best gaming machine you could buy when it released in 2013.
