" I have not been happy at all with my GainSaver purchase. I bought a refurbished G5 tower in October of last year and it never worked right. At first, I thought the problem was just something with the wi-fi connection but as I tried to resolve that I kept running into more and more problems. After a couple of months the computer barely worked at all. This was, unfortunately, after the basic warranty from GainSaver had expired (I didn't purchase the extended warranty which apparently was a huge mistake).
I talked to the computer fix it guy at work and he said to reinstall a new operating system and if that didn't fix the problem it meant the hard drive was bad. Well, I attempted to install a new operating system and the computer now won't start at all..this was all in the course of about three months.
As I haven't had money or time to deal with this issue since, the computer is still sitting broken in a corner. I plugged in my 10 year old G4 which still works (better than that refurbed POS at least).
All in all, the computer worked great for a week or two and it was all down hill from there. I suppose I should have got the extended warranty but I have never had a problem like this with an Apple product before. As I mentioned, it even had problems during the initial warranty period but by the time I realized they stemmed from a more serious issue it was too late.
As the situation stands now, I would NEVER use GainSaver again or recommend it to anyone else (save, perhaps, for some enemy whom I wished ill fortune...even then, maybe not)."
