Hiya, i have worked out that i have £5.5k of PC equipment.
Is there any specific insurance that anyone can recommend?
Many thanks

Bog standard home insurance afaik - keep receipts for EVERYTHING and you shouldn't be left too out of pocket!

I've been terrible at keeping receipts in the past so I simply scan a copy and keep it electronically these days!

You would probably need to identify the system as a high value item with your insurance company.

I only have to declare individual items worth over £10K. OP needs to read their policy documents and check (assuming they have a policy).

Thank you for the info, I have e-receipts for everything, 80% of my build is from OCUK, the rest from another etailor.
I will make an enquiry with my contents insurance.

As bremen1874 said, you need to find out what your current home insurer's policy is on individual items. Mine for example is anything over £1k needs to be declared if you want it covered.

check your home insurance sometimes they have the option to cover pc and other equipment.
