Diamond Notebook from China

For those of you too cheap to pony up for that $700,000 diamond-encrusted Jupiter desktop we saw yesterday, China’s Eazo is willing to throw down the luxe for less than a tenth of the price — which still means the X70, pictured here, stil costs $45,500, but hey.

The distinctive machine features a 3GHz Q9550 Core 2 Quad, two NVIDIA 8800GTX graphics cards, 4GB of RAM, light-up liquid cooling, a 10,000rpm 150GB drive backed up by a 7,200rpm 500GB drive, 7.1-channel sound, and Vista Ultimate, all wrapped up in an easy-access case with pneumatic door hinges. Of course, you can custom-configure systems well past the $70K mark (and down to just $9K), but if you’re not happy with this stock config, you might want to try yoga or something, Mr. Power Hungry.

So if you want to do it, at leas do it in a big style!
