Ok, I feel a bit like Homer Simpson for even considering extending my Dell warranty. I've got a 2 year old PC and have the option to extend. A month ago one of my dual video cards blew up and the Dell helpdesk was great at talking me though troubleshooting, finding the one that had blown and sending a replacement. I'm currently running the old NVidia 9800 GT and a new GTS 240 sent by them.

 

So what do you think? Should I do it or is it a waste of money? Bear in mind that I'm not hugely comfortable replacing components though I did replace the PSU on my last PC.

 

Thanks...

Well you used them and you got good service - so at least you got some value from it - that's not always the case with warranties - sometimes they aren't worth the paper they are written on when something goes wrong.

 

I never buy warranties or similar unless there is a good reason - so would never get one for a PC because I can just fix it myself - but for a massive Fridge freezer its good to know that they will come and replace it for me without the hassle.

Yeah you're right, I suppose the cost of replacing the components is low as well, or an excuse to upgrade given that they're quite old.
