With everything in life there is the affordable option, and the option we can just sit back and look at because it is out of our price range.
If you love fancy things and cannot live without the best of the best, then stay away from this article, as it is filled with the most expensive gaming tech you can buy, so much so that most of it is not even available without a special order.
Acer Predator 21X – R200,000
First on the list is the amazing Acer Predator 21X. I have personally had time with this beast of a laptop, and it looks and feels like a quarter of a million bucks, because it is.
This machine has two GTX 1080 GPUs built into it, with a full customizable RGB keyboard, and the beat feature of all, a 21-inch curved display with eye tracking. Yes, the laptop’s screen can be controlled with your eyes. I played Rise of the Tomb Raider on it, and controlled the camera using my eye movements, it is insane.
While it is powerful, it is also a pretty sexy machine to look at. Clear spots on the device let you peer into the internals, as you can spot the liquid-cooled parts moving throughout. So the next time you are in the market for a new car, just think you could buy a laptop instead.
OrionX – R260,000
When buying a PC, or building one, you normally get one PC, but not with the OrionX. This high-end PC is actually two PCs in one.
One of the PCs pack three GTX 980 Ti cards, and a 10-core Intel Core-i7 6950X, all plugged into an Asus Rampage X99 board. In the case is another PC, and I know what you are thinking, it is probably a lower-end version, but that is not the case.
The second PC includes an Asus Maximus VIII Impact motherboard, with an Intel Core i7-6700K overclocked to 4.8GHz. The main PC has a whopping 64GB or RAM, and has 4TB of SSD storage.
This is all cooled by three separate liquid cooling loops that even have their own color to tell what is cooling what. I suppose someone who is into game development or heavy rendering would love this PC, as the powerful GPU lets you do get tasks done fast, and you can still work on the other PC while this happens.

Xbook One S – R20,000
While console gaming is best played on a massive 65-inch TV, there might be some of you who would want to downscale this to a 19-inch laptop monitor instead. Introducing the Xbook One S, a custom-made laptop, that has been built using an Xbox One S as its foundation.
The only thing that is not very laptop-y about this device, is that it does not run on batteries, rather you need an AC adapter to make it all work. Luckily the power brick as been included inside the device, so it saves you carrying around an extra block.
The device can also be plugged into a TV, so although the display is not a 4K screen, right now, you can plug it into a UHD TV to make use of the 4K Blu-Ray support that the Xbox One S has. If you ask me it is a pretty cool device, and it even has speakers built into the front too. This would be a buy for me if I could get it locally.
PlayBook 4s – R20,000
Just like the Xbook One S, the same creator built a PS4 model using the PS4 Slim. The device also has a 19-inch display, and is built-to-order for $1,500.
Just like the Xbook One S, the Playbook 4S comes with a PS4 built into it, with all the bells and whistles you could ask for. It also has HDMI out, so it is like a console if you don’t want to carry it around with you.
Think of it like buying a new PS4, but with the option to take it with you wherever you go. Sounds pretty cool to me.
Cruden Hexatech Racing Simulator – R2.5 million
Are you a racing fanatic? Do you have R2.5 million in small change? Then you can buy yourself a Cruden Hexatech Racing Simulator. This device replicated Formula One and NASCAR racing to deliver the most realistic experience you can get, without the bruises and explosions.
The built-in hydraulics recreate just how you will feel if you had to actually turn a corner at 320KM/h. Slam on brakes and it will send your stomach into your chest by moving you in the chair at a speed.
Every wheel is controller by a specific setting, and every impact is carefully replicated to deliver a realistic experience. Although you could probably just buy a super car for this price.
The Machinist Keyboard – R20,000
Looking for a new keyboard? Well maybe you will love the Machinist Keyboard created by Datamancer. This steampunk, mix classic keyboard, comes with a gorgeous hand painted design, with a copper finish.
The device uses Cherry MX blue mechanical switches, with a lifespan of 50 million keystrokes. The keyboard is designed to replicate the classic typewriter feeling, as each key is wrapped in a metal housing with a design that will never see the lettering fade.
It really looks like the device has been pulled out of time, and placed in a modern day world. If we had keyboards back then instead of type writers, I am sure this is what they would look like.
If you had the money, would you buy any of this expensive gaming tech? Let us know in the comments and forum.
