Depends on your situation and what you actually want to insure?

Do you live on your own? Parents? Student digs?

What do you want to insure - Theft? Breakdown? Accidental damage?
 
As above - If you don't already have contents insurance then this offers much better value - You want to look for something which covers items away from the home - Most policies have a single item limit of at least £1500. Will cover you for theft and accidental damage (make sure you choose that option) in and out of the home, then also covers the rest of your belongings too.

Only thing that would not cover is mechanical breakdown, but what really is the point in that? You should get a two year warranty against that kind of thing anyway and computers these days don't generally just break down, and if it does do so in the near future it will be a warranty replacement anyway.
 
No personal experience but have seen the "protect your bubble" insurance on the telly. Just been on it and a £1400 laptop is £8.99 a month!

I agree with the people above can you not add this to your home contents insurance?

Being a mod you have ignored my question ie does overclockers have an insureance for there products or do you use an insurer's to offer people who pay big money for computers. A laptop is for out door use and if it was to be stolen do you offer a company that protects that. I under stand that I stated a chain that sells little to no computers now but as for there insurence team its very good and this post was for info on great insurer's not a company that has a false name imo.
 
That tone wont go down well here....
