I'd just like to add a point I haven't seen mentioned having to do with warranties and service contracts. For what it's worth, my partial solution has always been to use a Gold Visa or Mastercard, as well as some other Gold cards. With all of these, you get 90 days of purchase assurance should something break, and a doubling of the manufacturers' or retailers' warranty, up to an additional year, on warranties of up to three years. I can speak from experience, having had to use the double warranty approximately nine times in the last four years for various component failures. Frankly, with PC's, you probably have more failures per purchase than most any other consumer products. I can also add that in every case, I haven't had one single problem getting paid quickly and fully. This has been the case with both Visa and Mastercard. Just food for thought.... Len
