Mum is going on holiday from australia on a trip to europe (britain included), an she has offered to get me some stuff while she is there. what cool computer related stuff can she pick up for cheaper over there that i cant get here, or cant get here so cheap? any ideas? i also have a sony HDR HC7 handycam, but have already seen the accessories prices are identical from here to britain.

What would YOU ask for in my situiation? (keep in mind that some of would also be a gift, some would also be payed for by me)

On a serious note, maybe get a graphics card. I always hear that the availability and prices are pretty terrible for Austrailia compared to the UK and USA.
