I looked at the Outpost site. Definitely worth exploring--Thanks.

What about refurbished computers? Specifically refurbdepot.com?

It looks like most of them only have a 90 day warranty. How common are problems or defects with desktops after 90 days but before the 1st year of a standard warranty?

Never had to send anything back with my current computer, but got burned on a Kodak digital camera. Sent it back 3 times under warranty for the same repair. 3rd time, which was just before the warranty expired, I told them I wanted a new camera or an extended warranty. No joy. 4th time the same thing broke was 2 months after warranty expired. Needless to say, I won't buy a Kodak again.
