The Brits get all the nice things, don't they?

Thankfully there are more attractive things to watch everynight during the Olympics than Bob Costas' ugly face. One of those things is the impressive 'Bird's Nest' National Stadium in Beijing which houses the track and field events, but comparitively that stadium was 'cheap' compared to the world's most expensive stadium - London's Wembley Stadium.

The Bird's Nest, although totally awesome looking, only cost $500 million to build, while Wembley cracked the $1.5 billion mark during it's construction from 2003 to 2007 (Even the super fancy new Yankee Stadium [$1.3 billion] can't beat it). (more cool pictures and video after the jump)

This hard drive, case manufactured by a Japanese company called Zeus, costs over $748,730. Why would anyone want such an overpriced PC? Platinum, baby!

 As if anyone really needs it, this thing comes with a platinum or solid gold casing and is encrusted with constellation patterned diamonds.

Yeah, really fancy and gawdy, but what's under the hood? According to MostExpensive, the 'Jupiter' model, comes equipped with "Intel’s 3GHz E6850 Core 2 Duo CPU, 2GB of DDR 2 memory, a 1TB hard drive and a dual Blu-Ray/HD DVD drive. Additionally, it ships with a 24” 1920×1200 native resolution monitor."

That sounds awesome and everything (except maybe the useless HD DVD drive, now that Blu-Ray is king), but is all that really worth almost $750K? For that money you could buy a decently sized house almost anywhere in the country. Or a membership to one of the most exclusive country clubs.
