I've never bought an extended warranty on any of my systems
and in fact generally pick them up 2nd hand. I've never had any
trouble out of any of them other than what I've caused by tweaking
the insides to my liking. Even my Tandy 1000's gave me good
problem-free service until I got rid of each of them and my current
G3 Mac has a build quality far superior to the current Dell machines.
Unfortunately, the government tends to buy Dell's now so I have to
support quite a few of them and we've had far more problems than we
have solid machines. On the other hand, we've got a few DEC towers
humming along strong running Win95 and they're likely 5-6 years old.
