Dell offer this on some of their servers. IMHO this is always a waste of
money - they don't provide anything that you couldn't do yourself by
having a stock of spare parts and someone competent on call.

OTOH, if you pay for the support, generally you get a machine that was
put together by someone who knew how it was supposed to go, rather than
the colour-blind monkeys they normally use.
