Case in point are MartinLogan electrostatic speakers, decidedly high-end at a cool $11K a pair and up. Just released yesterday is the ability to configure your own MartinLogans on the company's website, choosing colors and finishes for every area of these mysterious-looking, gorgeous speakers. If they sound half as good as they look, this is going to be truly danceable. Too bad the site requires you to download the Viewpoint Media Player to see the manipulatable 3D models, but it's worth it just to virtually manhandle all that sumptuous speaker-flesh. [MartinLogan]

Calculate it Here ]]> The $250-ish price of the Nintendo Wii gaming console sounds good, but that number reminds us of the $2 pizza syndrome. Oh, you want cheese on that? Pepperoni, sausage, tomato sauce? That'll be $29.95. Get the skinny on the Wii's real cost with the Nintendo Wii Calculator, a Web site configurator that helps you figure in essentials like the Wiimote, Nunchuks, Retro Controllers, and of course, a few $50 games. Hey, wait. What do you mean the Nintendo Wii costs $835? – Charlie White
