My mum is getting an iPad for Christmas, so i'd like to get a case to go with it. Can anyone suggest an appropriate case/sleeve? It should be able to cope with being put into a bag, and not add too much bulk. Thanks

You always used to just be able to phone up and say you were a student to get the full discount. Did they stop that?

I am looking at putting together a small PC that i can use for development work at home, and in the future as a HTPC client. What i require (in order of importance) is: - Silence (ideally passive) - Low power (as in watts) - Small (think Mac Mini size) - Fast(ish) As a dev machine i need...

I've just done some more checking and my current HTPC runs at 55w-80w (measured at the wall). ~80w when playing video. So really it's not too bad considering what it does!

I have just checked my current HTPC again, and whilst under normal conditions (eg recording tv), it sits at < 65w, whilst watching tv it goes to ~85w. I think 60w should be easily beatable now, apparently AMD have some 25w CPUs now? My machine runs a 45w 5050e at the moment, so a 20w drop is...

Are ITX solutions powerful enough yet? as that would save a lot of power compared to a normal system. If they aren't then i think i will struggle to get anything with low enough power consumption :(

I am looking to move house soon, and preparing options for a fully networked up home :) For this i will require a server, but i have no desire to have a big powerful, noisey and expensive to run machine. What i am looking for is something that will allow me to have 2x TV cards, 2-3x HDDs, no...

Anyone got any ideas?

Low wattage... maybe 400w?

My Enermax Modu82+ just exploded on me after a whole years service. I now need a new PSU very quickly. Here's what i need: - Quiet (VERY important) - Efficient - Ideally modular (so i can remove the cables i dont need) Thanks

Can you get a replacement for the back of the iphone? Mine has a big crack that starts on the connector bit and goes about 1inch upwards. It's out of warranty now as it's ~15months old :(

My parents iMac seems to be failing, and as i'm not exactly very close i can't so easily help out! You can login to some of the user accounts, but not all, and on one account it used to give loads of spotlight errors, but now wont even login. This is a 20inch alu iMac from 2007 (maybe...

I am also there is december for approx 3 weeks. I am only visiting south island though, and my route looks like this: - Christchurch (+ Akaroa) - Mt Cook (+ Lake Tekapo) - Heli trip - Queenstown - Te Anau (+ Milford Sound) - Wanaka - Skydiving - Franz Josef (+ Haast) - Heli hike - Arthur's Pass...

Looking at the mortgages i am considering, over a 3 year peiriod this is how it all works out. £105k mortgage, 4.39% fixed for 3yrs, on a 25yr term Over those 3yrs this is where the money goes: £20,775 paid £13,364 is interest £7,391 is capital repayment This is the calculator i used...

Only other financial commitment i have is the student loan! Not that they've bothered to start taking any money yet... or even ask for it!

With a 25% deposit, how easily attainable are 4x multiplier mortgages (for a single person)?

I'd rather it was an entertainment show thanks. It's a bit pointless reviewing loads of cars when its something most people only buy once every 5yrs or so! It would mean 90% of the content would be irrelevent to the majority of people. Though i would agree that one or two an episode would be...
