''Pipe Dreams'' Computer Desk System, $30,000
There's a computer desk system for sale on ebay costing $30,000
Looking to go extreme with a new PC? Look no further than this monster up for bidding on eBay, costing the lucky winner a whopping $30,000. Called "Pipe Dreams," this is actually a PC integrated into an interesting desk constructed with pipes and neon lights. The setup looks impressive enough just in appearance alone, however the winning bidder may need to dedicate a room specifically for this wacky pipe dream.
According to the specs listed on eBay, the PC uses an i7 Intel Quad Core Extreme processor running at 3.2 GHz, 6 GB of RAM, a 1.6 TB HDD, a Blu-ray/DVD/CD writer, WiFi card and router, and more. But wait... that's not all. Like one of those annoying infomercials, the company has thrown in another PC into the mix for the same price. This one offers Intel's Pentium Dual-Core processor, 2 GB of RAM, a 1 TB HDD, an additional 300 GB HDD (serving as the master drive), and more.
"The second computer also functions as added security to the main computer because all the downloading can be accomplished with # 2 computer as the primary source for downloading," said Out of the Box Technologies. "Once the download is verified to be safe you can transfer download to main computer stress free."
The eBay page also says that the entire Pipe Dreams rig is 9-feet wide and 4-feet deep, and is constructed of aircraft-type aluminum squares, plates, and round structural tubes, non-structural aluminum tubes, hand-milled oak wood, and more hand crafted material. Both computers come packed with Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit, Norton 2009 Internet Security, and whatever else the customer requests.

This confuses me, I really cant see where they're coming from by adding in the second Pc to the setup..
Is it just to help the potentially stupid/lazy person who'll buy this with downloading dubious files?
Reducing the systems value by 80%.
Have to say, not impressed, for $30,000 in an arrangement that big, i'd like to have seen somewhere proper to put the printer instead of it being kind of balanced on the left leg.
Maybe its not to my taste but it all seems kind of fussy, too much going on, but not in a nice steampunk way, just a cluttered way.
I like the idea of the 2nd PC for downloading, it's the setup I use, but it's more to leave my main PC free for playing games, Watching HD movies, Listening to music, Surfing the net, Burnong DVD's/CD's all without slowing it down with downloading going on in the background.
As for the desk, I'd rather save the $26000 and buy a couple of good quality, practical desks.
I wouldn't be surprised if this sold, but I would be surprised if they were getting good value for money :-)
they clearly have no idea about computers... Putting Norton there? wtf???
It's like my systems ...only expensive and ugly.
Can you even get a chair under that desk?
ughh its ugly as fuck why would you want this monstrosity when you could buy a better computer for a third the money?
I would buy this... if the pipes were a rad for a very large ott water cooling... actually this give me an idea... *runs to solidworks*
