For what its worth, I know with dell you can still put any warranty you want on refurbished and off lease machines. Support doesn't treat them any diffrrently. So if you ever have an issue, the parts still get replaced.
I'd be surprised if the same didn't hold true for IBM. Do I do it? No. I'm frugal as heck, but I still want to order the machines exactly the way I want them with, matching specs across the board.
