The refurbs are by far the best deal, but if one wants to "take it home,"
Apple Stores sometimes have returned items that they knock off a
percentage.  Also, you can sometimes save on your system through
AppleCare, since they will usually give it to you at a significant
discount if you do not seem to be interested and allow them to "persuade"
you.

I have personally gotten my money out of AppleCare.  For my PowerBook G4s,
it usually ended up being $250, and paid for itself in the life of the
machine.
