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?

A Keyboard That's Tougher Than You Are

Not that you're expecting to use your computer outside in the middle of an ice storm, but what if you had to? Then you'd want Stealth Computer's 2000-IS-DT-PS/2 keyboard (when you're this tough, you don't need fancy names), a $2200 114-key Windows keyboard that can withstand anything nature can throw at it, short of bubbling lava. With a no-nonsense stainless-steel enclosure, this keyboard is immune to corrosion and can withstand 100 percent humidity, temperatures ranging from -40 to 194 degrees Fahrenheit, windblown dust, spray from a hose, and ice forming on its casing. The only question is, will your computer--or you--survive the same kind of punishment?
