I've bought 4 refurbished iMac's for Work. One was DOA, but Apple was very good about it. All in all, I think it was a good experience. Probably I'd feel most comfortable buying refurbished "all in one" / laptop machines... I'd probably be a bit more suspicious of the towers where people can get into the guts and do more harm...

| Refurb
I was thinking about a refurbished machine too. My question specifically, is has anyone had experience with Power Max? Are they decent? If not, is there a better way to buy refurbished Macs? I'm looking to buy a 17" iMac and I plan to buy an extended Applecare warranty. Thanks!

I bought a refurbished DP 450 from Small Dog about 2 years ago. I sold it to my son to get my current machine. It is working beautifully with no problems whatsoever. A very good experience, I must say.
