Diamond studded case itself woudl cost over a million. Have you ever seen at those victoria secret shows the diamon bras that are over a million. Fairly certain that bra is insanely uncomfortable. But if price and showing off ones status makes it a luxary item, then that woudl be one. If having a case covered in diamonds is what you want then go ahead. But disregarding 'fluff' a pc can cost a lot without it. Get a cool/fancy looking case and you could be spending 500+ on that alone. Put in top of the line components and a couple grand or more. Then start adding water cooling, LED lights to accecuate your case, ect. Multiple monitors, 8k monitors, wide screen monitors, VR headsets, ect. None of that is any of the outrageous diamonds, but you could still be paying 10x+ the price of a console. Hell I can buy a keyboard for roughly the price of a console. If that isn't luxury, i don't know what is. People bring up these insane cars like some proof of what luxary is. Beyond looks, the cars aren't any better than a volkswagon. Sure it may accellerate faster (faster loading times), drive quiet (no fan noise), look sleek (cool case), drive 200 mph (insane specs, though in both cases underutilized) Car can't drive faster than speed limit and PC can't play games that don't exist. Ect. They are the same. PC gaming is if you want Luxury. |
Yeah I suppose those types of strategies to make a PC cost excessive amounts make sense. To me though, I find that way of looking at it as "cheating" lol, since the money you're spending doesn't impact performance at all. From a pure performance perspective, when paying for a PC, surely it would be a challenge to get to that price point. I also mean using relatively commodity PC components either, not looking to build an HPC, since the goal here is specifically luxury "gaming".
