im looking for presents for one of my bros for XMas, and he is a total computer freak (hes not a nerd, just gotten right into the computers since he started a part time it course at tafe)
anyways, i was thinking i might get him something for one of his computers, any ideas?
it cant really be a program, coz he *cough* downloads everything for free *cough*, so its prob gotta be some sorta hardware
any suggestions?

wireless mouse, everyone wants one of them and they arent too expensive.

If looking for something cheeper

Looks simple, but no end of uses

or even more cheeper
some USB thingy, like a USB mug warmer, lol

For more ideas check out www.cnet.com

ok,thanks, thats given me some ideas

i know he needs a new hard drive for one of his computers, so how much would a reasonable one of them be (it doesnt have to be the best model available, just something middle-of-the-range)

40Gb cost around $100
80Gb cost around $120

You can't really get anything less then 40gb these days.

Definately get him a hard drive then, so he can download (and store) "other" things

Just kidding,

For his birthday though, you can't beat buying a guy more computing space, so $90 to $100 on a 40GB hard drive would be something even I would be happy with for my birthday

If you've got an extra $20 lying around, go for the 80GB.
And if you really love him to bits, then perhaps the 120GB disks might be of interest.

But don't blow your budget, I'd say 80GB would keep any brother happy
