AppleCare is one of the best things ever. I had one of the liquid cooled G5 computers and one time late at night the computer decided to leak all the liquid onto our office floor and the thing overheated and fried itself. I had Applecare. They were just short of replacing it outright but instead literally replaced EVERYTHING inside the computer except for the DVD drive. So power supply, CPUs, liquid cooling setup, drives, the video card, the ram memory was still good, but everything else. The repair literally would have been almost as much to replace it (upwards of $2500). After Applecare? $0. So it was like getting a brand new PC in a slightly familiar case. So yeah, ever since then I get applecare for Apple products I buy.
