Not high-tech, but expensive and I want it:

Knights of the Round Table Watch from Roger Dubuis
At the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie in Geneva, watchmakers Roger Dubuis showcased the Excalibur Table Ronde, a limited series of 88 watches modeled after the famed Winchester Round Table where King Arthur and the Knights of the Round gathered to discuss quests, Grails, perilous peril, and strange women lying in ponds distributing swords as a system of government.

sorry, where I said it worked for day, I should have said years.

My first home built computer worked for 3 years with an improperly mounted CPU fan. Thing was just kind of resting on the CPU......

My first home built computer was housed in a milk crate.

Okay, this isn't that expensive, but it's a tech toy that would be so much fun:
3Doodler

I used to make money in college building frakencomputers out of salvagable parts + upgrades. But then Dell and Gateway came along, and I couldn't justify it anymore. I haven't built one in a long while, but last time I checked, it was still cheaper just to buy.

I thought of this after the "build your own computer" schpiel: http://www.cracked.com/blog/12-dangerously-irresponsible-steps-to-building-your-own-pc/

As for expensive tech toys I'd want...portable Super Nintendo (http://www.thisiswhyimbroke.com/portable-super-nintendo-player).

Tesla would be nice, one of those Japanese mechs would too.

I want an Emperor

 

[Yoshimickster]

I'd want one of those, but colored Grey and red! Also 500 feet underground while I survey my operations. Cos this DEFINITELY a super villain chair.

I really would like to have an EcoSphere.

Isn't that the machine that Bruce Banner sat in before he turned into the Hulk?[DOUBLEPOST=1361753652][/DOUBLEPOST]

A glass ball with some shrimp, some water, and some seaweed costs 50k euros?

It's 499 euros.

 

[bhamv3]

It's 499 euros.

Oh, those wacky Europeans and their commas instead of their decimal points. They got me, they got me good.

Still a bit pricey, but not so exorbitant now.

How long before you call 911 because your dick is stuck in its robotic death grasp?

 

[sixpackshaker]

How long before you call 911 because your dick is stuck in its robotic death grasp?

How long after the grasp? about 4 hours if there is a pill involved.

 

[Bowielee]

Aren't robotic arms pretty much commonplace tech now?

One is giving you a back rub right now, isn't it?
