Jaybird Freedom. Currently £35 on Amazon. Good sound and build quality for the money.
Be interested to know if these really are sweat proof. When I'm down the gym it literally pours out of me.

If your wife is finding a laptop sexy then you have one incredibly unfulfilling sexual relationship.

Few bits to make life easier in the garage
Really like the halfords tools, they arent as good as they used to be but the life time guarantee makes up for it. Gotta ask Why didnt you get the tray sets instead? They do all the tools in traysets that obviously fit inside the drawrers.
I bought all the original tray sets And then 2 of the 150piece carrycase sets for if im away from home, only thing that has ever let me down is the ratchet spanners, had 2 of the 13mm mechs break

You've spelt "no" wrong, that's what you've done
Ha! This has made my morning already. This will be my new signature.
Guys... You know the wife only uses it to order stuff for the kitchen and watch cooking videos, while cooking me amazing dinners. Have to keep them happy sometimes and make my kitchen look good.I'll probably get some of the trays in the long run or make some inserts on the laser cutter at work, I've already got loads of stuff that can sit loose in the drawers for the time being. I have a Clarke HD chest but I ran out of room in that ages ago and I was starting to have tools all over the place which was getting annoying! I got the big 200 piece set because it was only 135 quid and like you said it will be ideal for when I'm away from the house, it is mega heavy/bulky though. The ratchets are a bit short for my liking but most of the other stuff is pretty bang on for the price. No way I'd pay full asking price though.

I don't like doing things by halves! If I wanted it to be a value for money exercise then I wouldn't have even considered this build. Net cost wasn't bad after I sold off my old rig and a load of guitar kit that was just hanging around.
Clearly it works a charm as I've started to clock it and sat at 5Ghz with GPU and memory tweaked a bit, system sits at 23-24oC at idle and never seen it over 36oC.
Plus I'm getting 200fps in Minesweeper...

Logitech K780 keyboard, at long last!
Finally a decent keyboard.
- Just some lighting for the desk at some point, otherwise I am happy with the setup for the time being
Keyboard is epically comfortable, I personaly hold @mrk responsible for this purchase.
