The $34,000 luxury gadget ripoff
Ever wonder what $34,000 in home electronics buys you these days? Wonder no more, as MileHighAutomation has you covered. Before we delve into the specifics, let’s get two things straight. Point #1: $34,000 is a lot to spend on gadgets of any size shape or origin, especially sight unseen, which leads me to Point #2. This particular bundle is currently available through eBay, so I think it’s fair to assume that it’s targeted at a slightly less well informed set than your average BGR reader. That being said, it does include some pretty interesting stuff. $34 G’s, or $33,999 if you’re being specific, means that MileHighAutomation will come to your home and install, among other things, 4 video touch screens, a 14-zone audio system, a "Smart Media" server to upload all of your physical CDs, 6 security cameras, 6 thermostats, "computer control software," all orchestrated by an Omni Pro II Home Automation Controller. This all sounds fine, but we’re guessing that the video touch screens aren’t going to hold a candle to your average Plasma screen, and each of the "features" includes components from dubiously anonymous sources. If you’re looking for an all in one solution, there are better places to go, but you’ve got to hand it to MileHighAutomation for switching things up on us and taking the eBay route. Buy at your own risk or, better yet, don’t buy at all.
