help me find a clock radio

[Omegachi]

i am looking for a nice clock radio for my nightstand. A lot of the fancy pansy clock radios out there are also a docking station for ipod/mp3 players. Since i don't own any:beer: portable music device, i don't see the need in getting a clock radio with a docking station. Now, I don't want anything generic looking, something artsy and stylish would be best. anyone got a suggestion?

Just get a $10 plastic Sony. A clock radio doesn't need to be a status symbol, it's just there to wake you up.

Cheaper, less flashy version.

I'm very tempted to buy it because it has separate alarms for each day.

Wow, looks good. If I can't stop my computer from randomly freezing during the night, looks like I'll have to pick that up... awesome, perfect for the average college student.

EDIT: Too bad it's kinda ugly... BlackTigers' clock looks MUCH better, but also costs $25 more... blah, life.

I don't know how bright that blue back light is, but I have a clock like that that has a blue back light and it's really bright. I don't use it anymore because it's like having a weak lamp on all the time.

edit: just noticed the adjustable brightness.

I have one of these and I like it. Best part is the retro/futuristic space age design http://www.amazon.com/Sony-ICF...&qid=1228462777&sr=8-7

I know. I wish it was prettier, but I can't justify a $60 alarm clock.

I just got a small Honeywell projector alarm clock. It is red and has changing led lights, (blue, green, pink, red). It does not have a radio though. 🙁 It was 20 dollars.

Is that projector useful?

I like it. I like to be able to look at my ceiling in the morning to see how much longer I can sleep.

Mine even tells me what the temperature is outside. And, if I wake up in the night, I don't have to find the clock and check the time - it's there on the ceiling. I love it.
