[QUOTE="mOOdy, post: 46884"] So, I hate to be "that guy" who is a sucker and goes for the Apple extended warranty, (extra 2 years and phone support) but I just had my video card crap out on my G5 dual 2ghz and the warranty saved my arse. Also, right after purchasing my computer i had a blackout that shut down half of my city and I was in the middle of a huge download, applecare phone support saved me there as well, by having someone to guide me through getting into the HD to back up all my stuff before having to wipe the drive and reinstall the OS. I have also had a friend with a G5 dual 2ghz and his just all of the sudden crapped out with a burnt up processor. Anyone have any words of wisdom? Does anyone have any experiences with other G5 troubles that would lead one to believe that the warranty is/or isn't a good investment? $250 for an extended warranty is steep, but so is a $400 processor and labor charges.
