Title: $6,899.75 AudioQuest NRG WEL Signature Series 6 ft AC Power Cable
Post by: Sundowner on June 01, 2012, 05:08:43 PM: I thought I had seen the most audacious in tech accessory pricing when I posted about Best Buy's $1,095.99 HDMI Cable. http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,325882.0.html

But I must admit Amazon's $6,899.75 AC Power Cable takes the cake!

Woot!

Pros: Other reviewer is correct. This does break the laws of thermodynamics and gives you free electricity.

Cons: I tried to charge my iPhone with this, and now Siri has Jeremy Clarkson's voice. POWWWWEEEERRRRR!

I think it is, based on one of the reviews. That one especially needs to be voted up as "helpful" :)

When the Doc asked me to find something that would supply 1.21 gigawatts of power to the flux capacitor, I thought he was joking.

The crazed wide eyed look he gave assured me he was not.

There were no lightning storms in the vicinity, and it seems in the year 2012 there is a distinct lack of high powered steam locomotives.

I found this little, yet quite expensive, piece of equipment and knew it had to do the job.

I used a Sports Almanac acquired in the year 2015 (long story and not enough time) to place a few bets which helped me raise the $100,000 or so needed for this baby.

When the Doc saw the bill all he could say was "Great Scot!", but I assured him it was a worthwhile purchase. After all, what could possibly go wrong?

I'm happy to say it did the job! It might have sucked half the juice out of the local power grid, but the important thing is we're now on our way back to 1985 and normal life.

I think they mislabeled that item, its obviously the power cord to the plug-in hybrid iF-15e that is in development. :noid
