Phone them up, see if they offer an extended warranty. Tell them you just got this one a week before the warranty ran out and see what they say. If they say sorry, then I believe you can get some sort of 3rd party insurance or if you paid with VISA a few years ago, maybe that card has the extra year warrenty built in on all purchases.
If that doesn't work, don't sweat it, you got a new super computer for free. Your other one was already an antique by the way computer experts talk...every 4-6 months or so, computers get so much better and faster. Jeez, mine is only 2yrs. old and 4 months after I bought it, the price went down around $300 and the hard drive size doubled, speed got faster, etc. Damn.
I' m no expert but have fun with your new toy anyways.
