I have a dual-processor powermac G5. For some reason, the application I use does not have an intel version, so I have to stick with ppc Mac.
A week ago, I failed to wake it up and I heard a not-too-loud 'pop'. After that the machine cannot be turned on. I guessed the power supply broke and a Mac repair store confirmed my guess. My machine is out of warranty and the total cost of repair (power supply replacement) is 200 bucks.
Since I am going to count on this machine in the next couple of years, do you guys think I should invest another $250 for Applecare (extends warranty from 90 days to 3 years)
Thank you very much for any opion and suggestion!
