My Pod looks like crap now, ever since my plastic casing broke... Still thinking of what to get, any recommendations? Plastic, rubber, chrome, aluminium, or anything else?

And how much will it set me back? I will still need the protection though...

No, if your iBook still in Applecare Warranty, just get Apple replaced it for you if it's damage or not working. Officially there wont be any discount for buying accessories even you have extended the warranty. You can try talking with the shop you purchased the iBook from, but very unlikely.

lokgotz, the miniDVI adapter is the same thing from the later PowerBook G4. the very first few 12" PowerBook, Apple used the mini-VGA instead, but those were 867 MHz and 1GHz PowerBooks. the later (1.2GHz onwards) ones, used miniDVI, which is what (finally) the MacBooks are using.

Also try to look for PC hardware that works with the Mac. I recently discovered Miglia EyeTV(TV Tuner) for Mac uses the same hw as Pinnacle's. Price? RM1180(Machines) vs RM499(Mac version with EyeTV Lite) & RM399(PC version). Dun wan EyeTV Lite, buy PC version and buy EyeTV software(USD50-60?) from US. Why so like that one? Some more Pinnacle has 2 yr warranty with local distro.

Other thing that always pisses me off, Ipod price difference between here & Singapore. Why? Is it tax?

Saw the wired keyboard as well, but RM199 is abit pricey. Rather go for the old whitey Apple Pro Keyboard which cost RM119 if stocks last.

What's the price of silicon keyboard protector in Malaysia? There's one Apple Reseller in Sim Lim Square (Singapore's own LY) quoted me a whooping S$20. Fortunately I didn't buy. I bought from another store and it costs me S$10. I hope it's not too expensive.
I feel guilty for spending so much money on my MB...

The crystal case here is around S$45+. Gosh! So ex!!!
