    Is Dell accidental coverage worth it?

    I purchased 2 years of accidental coverage on a new Studio 1745 for only $79.00, but have 30 days to change my mind.

    I did not like reading in the warranty:
    If you purchased CompleteCare for a Computer:
    1). Notebooks. Only the central processing unit, internal keyboard, internal hard drives, and the computer’s built-in LCD are covered.

    I am curious if anyone out there has had sucess with this type of coverage. Do they really honor it, or do they try to find ways to get out of it?

    If anyone is looking for a great large screen laptop deal, go to the Dell website, click on popular laptop deals, then large screen laptop deals. The 1745 was $849.00 last week, and is more now, but is still only $899.00
    Intel T6600, 4GB RAM DDR3, 500GB (7200rpm), Blu-ray, 512MB video card. This configuration cost 400.00 if you build it on their website though, so you have to go through the "deal" links. I wish I could get a better chip, but can't afford it.

    I have been searching for a week, and haven't been able to find any deals even close to this. I called HP, and they couldn't match it.

    SO.... is it worth it to add $79.00 to my cost for the accidental coverage? All thoughts and opinions are welcome.
    THANKS!
