I've always bought Applecare off of eBay. I bought a refurb 24" iMac a year and a half ago and I've had to have both the hard drive and optical drive replaced. Parts and labor would have come to almost half the price of the refurb unit. Certainly worth the $90 I paid for the AC. Oh, and thanks to info I learned here, I also used the iMac's Applecare to replace a four year old Airport Express that went wonky.
