In Pictures: The World's Most Extravagant Technology Products

Many technology buying decisions come down to dollars. But what if price weren't a factor? Some of these 16 absurdly expensive products are practical, some are pretentious, and some are preposterous. They're all out of our price range--but hey, window shopping is free, right?

Flashy Flash

Swissmemory Prestige is a collection of 1GB flash drives that fold into housings made of 925-sterling silver or 18-karat white and yellow gold. If that's not enough bling for you, there's always the option of including diamonds on the casings. Go nuts with the Pave model, which features diamonds on top of yellow and white gold, and you'll be set back a cool $23,000. A nice touch: The flash drive can be removed for easy upgrading, so you'll still have a use for the Swissmemory Prestige a few years down the road. Just don't leave it plugged into a computer at some Internet cafe, okay?
