So you can get any modded system you want, but would the one you happen choose be a 24k Gold Playstation 3? Computer-choppers just brought out the luxurious case mod which starts at $4,999. Each system comes with two 24k controllers and a 1-year warranty, if you know, your Playstation 3 turns into a gold paper weight.

Gigabyte goes a step ahead with providing luxury computer components. The new Swarovski crystal embedded wireless laser mouse called GM-M7800S is quite something. Flaunting an 800/1600 DPI acuracy, this little beauty is partially covered in leather with an LED indicator for connecticity and change in DPI.

And Swarovski isn’t the only luxe treat that Gigabyte has in mind. As a matter of fact, the button and wheel surrounding the mouse is plated in 18 karat gold. Then there is the micro-sized RF dingle which pops out from where it’s housed in the mouse to be connected into a free USB slot.

Gigabyte Elegant Vogue Wireless Mouse

The Gigabyte Elegant Vogue wireless mouse is no ordinary mouse with gaudy LED lights trying to establish “l337″ cred. Instead, it is touted as an elegant solution and as such, is fittingly adorned with Crystallized Swarovski Elements crystals. These crystals are complemented by 18k gold-plated finishing and buttons. And finally, the Elegant Vogue receives its toppings in the form of a leather surface with two-tone stitching, not unlike the kind that you’ll find on luxury cars.

As a whole, the Elegant Vogue certainly exudes an air of luxury, but as the saying goes, “Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.” To some, the Gigabyte Elegant Vogue may be the most beautiful mouse they have ever laid eyes on, but to others, it can come across as vulgar and decadent.

We think that Gigabyte got it just about right with the Elegant Vogue. It looks opulent but not overly so. Given its looks and small size, we think that it’ll be a hit with the ladies.

Under the Skin

Underneath the pretty Swarovski crystals, shiny gold-plated buttons and leather suit, is in fact a Gigabyte GM-M7800 wireless mouse. You heard us right, the Elegant Vogue is in fact a pimped up Gigabyte GM-M7800. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing because the GM-M7800 is a very competent wireless mouse.

It has everything that you’d come to expect from a decent wireless mouse. First of all, it uses a 2.4GHz wireless connection via a handy transceiver which can be stowed neatly in the underside of the mouse, making it an ideal travel mouse. You can also switch between 800 and 1600DPI on the fly. Two buttons on the sides are mapped to the “Front” and “Back” functions on browsers, making web browsing a more enjoyable experience.

The Gigabyte Elegant Vogues requires two AA-sized batteries to operate and we thought that a Lithium-ion battery pack would have been more fitting for a mouse like the Elegant Vogue. Happily, however, Gigabyte has provided two batteries and the mouse was still up and running after more than a week’s use.

Final Thoughts

The Gigabyte Elegant Vogue is a bold move by the Taiwanese manufacturer and it is a commendable attempt. Its extravagant looks could divide opinions, but there can be no argument about its performance because it delivers the goods.

That said, taking in account its small size, we feel that the Elegant Vogue was designed with ladies in mind. To preserve its exclusivity, the Elegant Vogue is limited to only 10,000 units worldwide, so if you are interested, there’s no time to lose.

If the Queen of England were to an avid gamer, her console would be no less than a dazzling one with none to match its kind. Now, since most gaming consoles are equally good, the technical tweaking isn’t what we are looking at. Enter THQ, one of the most popular developer and publisher of interactive entertainment software. Well, the brand has created one of its kind version of Wii completely soaked in the yellow of gold.

The very unique gaming console reached Buckingham Palace in all its splendor along with some new games. Indeed a good marketing strategy by THQ as it readies itself to launch BIG Family Games for the Wii. The company’s rep was heard saying that the BIG concept brings together everyone in the family from grandparents to small children.

What are the First-class computers? Maybe the PCs that are equipped by the most powerful processor or which are feature the highest possible memory capacity? German company Gaiser High End has their own vision on this question. Offering their First-class Computer luxury PC you have an opportunity to decorate your computer by choosing variety of such precious materials as damask, silver, gilding, up to 24 karat gold, zirconium, diamonds and others.

Gaiser’s luxury box starts at $8000 and run up to around $33,000. Given the price, you sort of have to wonder why they did not just go all out and decorate these computers — of which there are many designs — with diamonds. Maybe it is because Swarovski crystals are so trendy right now. Then again, isn’t this the very definition of luxury?

Can you tell we are obsessed with diamonds? Even better when those shiny beauties are placed in normally boring looking gadgets. Take for instance this way over the top 14K real gold USB drive which is, as Born Rich puts it, festooned with VS quality diamonds.

For only $2000(!) you can pick up this gaudy delight. But that is money well spent, after all it is a 2.0 USB drive. Worth every penny for that extra transfer speed.

Sadly, the device cannot be worn on your finger.

Moneual is joining the ranks of recession-defying companies by releasing what is perhaps the most expensive computer in Korea called the 701 Jewelry. Retailing at roughly $30,000, the device is covered in 3,554 Swarovski jewels, and housed in gold and brass panels.

Despite the fancy exterior, the cylindrical computer actually boasts some cool tech offering a 7-inch multimedia touchscreen display, ATI Radeon HD 4000 for HD video playback, a 500 gigabyte harddrive, internal speakers, a remote control, DVD-R, multimedia card reader, a wireless keyboard and mouse, Intel Core 2 Duo, and runs on Windows Vista.
