I purchased a rider on my homeowner's policy (actually, renter's policy)
that specifically covers my computer stuff -- I had to make out an inventory
of what was covered (sheesh!  That $1300 box is the basis of a $3500 system,
and I was trying to hold the costs down...)

My impression from the insurance agent is that such riders, for computers as
well as for other specifically valuable items, is a fairly common option.
