Hey-
Just wondering if any of you have done it. I know the refurbs come with a 1-year warranty. Can you add on AppleCare to refurbs, and do it anytime within that first year?
I want a white iMac before they get dumped off the store.

The Apple Store (U.S.) - Special Deals
Before we put a pre-owned Mac, iPod, iPhone, or Apple TV up for sale in Special Deals, it undergoes a rigorous refurbishment process to make sure it's up to Apple's tough quality standards. We back it with our standard one-year limited warranty. And you have the option of purchasing an AppleCare Protection Plan for it.

The unit may not actually even be a refurb. When a new model is announced, the Apple Stores ship unsold new previous generation product back to Apple, and it winds up in the refurb store, and as others have pointed out, you can add AppleCare.

Why is there always money for war, but none for education?

Refurbs are a fantastic deal from Apple.  If you register a refurb, they will even remind you when your time to purchase AppleCare is about to end.

My G5 2.5 dual was technically a store display model that had been refurbed by
the store in question. For the money they also threw in three years of Applecare.
So I basically got a 2.5 dual for less than the cost of one new with 3 years of
Applecare tossed in with it. I could have gotten a 2.7 dual but decided not to
because the 2.5 with the applecare seemed like the smarter deal.
A very wise decision on my part as earlier this year the liquid cooling leaked and
basically destroyed the power supply, processors, cooling unit and motherboard.
So that Applecare paid for itself. I think I have a year left, if it blows up again I'll
have to bring it in again and have them fix it again for free.
