I've never bought anything that offered a waranty but when my mom got her new E-Machines computer she bought one. Its a good thing she did because the mother board went out on it a month after the free waranty expired. They replaced that then six months later it fried another mother board!! Lucky twice because it was still under waranty. This time they just gave her a whole new computer. The down side was it took about a month each time to resolve the probelm. After seeing all she went through I will never buy an E-Machine, and if for some reason I do then I'm definately getting a waranty.
