MacResQ does this too. My 1.25 GHz Aluminum 15" was only gone from my hands for 45 hours, and it came back with all my data sitting on a new 160 GB hard drive!!! Well worth it...

What impact does a service like this have on AppleCare? I asked AppleCare and they said it wouldn't void my AppleCare. When I asked a technician at an Apple Store, he said it would immediately void my AppleCare. Anybody else have any insight?
