# $450,000 PCs Moneual Showcases Swarovski-Encrusted Computer at CES By TopDog | Published 2010-01-10 | Luxury Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jewel-encrusted-htpc References: [engadget](http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/09/crapgadget-ces-part-2-moneuals-45k-htpc/) & [64-bit-computers](http://64-bit-computers.com/moneual-lab-renaissance-pc-1-one-million-dollars.html) This has got to be one of the most outrageous personal computers currently in the market. Moneual showcased their golden [Swarovski](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oakley-x-swarovski) jewel encrusted HTPC at CES 2010--with mixed reviews, I’m sure. The 701 Jewelry HTPC is equipped with HDMI, Blu ray, and Windows Vista Home Premium, which isn’t much for the $450,000 price tag. However, I think that perhaps the [3,500 Swarovski jewel-encrusted HTPC](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crystal-swipe) may still be worth its weight in gold in around 2025. I can’t wait to have a peek at Moneual’s upcoming one million-dollar PC. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Ultra Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/ultraluxury) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **$450,000 Pcs:** Innovation in high-priced luxury PCs may present opportunities for disruptive marketing and technology advancement. - **Swarovski-encrusted Electronics:** Creating high-end luxury electronics encrusted with precious gems could be a game-changing disruptive innovation in the electronics industry. - **Jewelry-inspired Technology:** Inspiration from the fashion industry to create high-end technology with a focus on aesthetics and design presents opportunities for disruption in tech and fashion industry spaces. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Electronics:** The electronics industry may benefit from introducing exclusive and luxurious high-end products in order to target a niche market and increase revenue. - **Luxury Goods:** Developing and manufacturing high-end luxury goods like jewelry-encrusted electronics can create new market opportunities for high-end luxury brands. - **Fashion:** The fusion of fashion and technology to create high-end electronics with jewelry-inspired design presents disruptive opportunities in both the fashion and tech industries. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Alien-Inspired PC Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aftershock-pc-case.md) - [Liquid-Cooled Wooden PCs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/one-i500.md) - [All-White PC Towers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/v3000-plus-white.md) - [In-Desk Gaming PCs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unevn.md) - [Shoe-Shaped PCs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sneaker-x.md) - [Game-Inspired Bright Pcs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minecraft-officially-licensed.md) - [Premium Custom PCs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comet-mk2.md) - [Retro-Inspired PC Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro95.md) - [Ultra-Spacious Computer Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haf-700-evo.md)
