Manufacturers offer different default warranties. It is important to note though, that you can extend your warranty through the manufacturer or retailer, and you may even be covered for an extended warranty depending on what credit card you purchased the system with (for example, AMEX offers a 1 year extension beyond warranties of 5 years or less).

For more information, here is a great site that has reviewed computer warranty information:

However, it seems the standard default warranty on a new computer is 1 year off-site.

Though there are caveats depending on the brand if you purchase a refurbished system, or if you purchase the system from an unauthorized retailer or auction site. Buyer Beware!

The value of purchasing an extended warranty is highly debatable and often, not recommended given the longevity of most components today and the average time people own/replace them.
