Around this time of year, everyone rolls out gift guides - suggestions for what to buy for the special, computer-loving people in your life. But we think that such guides sorely underserve one crucial but oft-ignored demographic: the filthy, stinking rich.
To remedy this pattern of neglect, we’ve put together the ultimate gift guide for recipients for whom the word “budget” holds no meaning: Here are 10 pieces of PC paraphernalia with price tags that push the boundaries of rational expense.

STAX SR-009
Nothing wins unanimous praise in the audiophile world, but the Stax SR-009 headphones are currently the leading contender for the title of world’s best set of cans. These Japanese-built headphones feature an open-backed design, craftsman-made leather earpads, and unparalleled sound reproduction, for just over five grand.
Of course, you'll have to buy an audiophile-grade headphone amplifier to power these bad boys, so plan to spend another $2000 (at a minimum) there. But if you're a demanding listener yourself, you know that putting your money where your ears are ain't cheap.
