I'm thinking that "they" are thinking that a Retail buyer,
(homeowner?), will beat up a hard drive installing it more
than an "experienced builder" that buys a bare drive.
OEMs (and OEM drives) are different, they get a better
price and "no" warranty... (They provide their own?)

Thanks Wayne for digging it up. The way I read it - retail kits are 1 yr.
That's a bit backwards. Normally retail packaged products have better
"privileges".

Some of those barebone HD packages may have a 3 year limited waranty if you
know where to look.
Circuity City is known for selling the waranty as a separate package on almost
all of its electronics which
isn't included in the package so a word of caution applies here becuase they
can charge you extra for it.
