If getting out of bed n the morning feels like a military operation, then try putting a spring in your step with Gear4′s BlackBox 24/7. Slip your iPod in the top and you’ve got the perfect musical alarm clock. It features two progammable alarm settings, so you can make sure your weekend lie-ins aren’t interrupted by your workday wake-up call. You can also opt to be gently woken up by tracks from your iPod, the chatter of morning radio or just a plain old buzzer sound. When you’re wide awake and in the mood for a bit of a boogie, you’ll appreciate its twin speakers, which can pump out a total of 16 Watts of music, more than capable of filling your high-tech bedroom with sound.
