how many times do you need to take it back before you get a replacement??

My Mac Pro is going wrong again, i don't know if to ask for a new one, out right or my money back?

Third Trip (not gone yet but its getting to the point)

When you say enough is enough? and ask for a Entire new Product?

i don't use it for Financial gain but its the annoyance plus, the aggro of something i should need to do. for a 8 month old product.

should i ask for a new one? and is it in my right to ask for my money back?

hoping for your opinion.

3 sounds right. I got a new Mac Pro after I had to bring my G5 tower in 3 times to replace the processors and logic board.

I just got a new MacBook Pro under a similar situation. However, my situation was a bit more severe than yours:

1) Feb: Audio port failed, replaced (Apple spent around $300)
2) March: hd crashed, replaced (Apple spent around $500)
3) March: Disc drive failed, replaced (Apple spent around $500)
4) April: hd crashed again, hd and motherboard replaced (Apple spent around $1500)
5) May:computer ran VERY slow (5 minutes to open Safari), at that point they gave me a new i7 MBP with matte screen ($2350). Blew me away. Steve Jobs for president 2012.

Apple had already spent more than the machine was worth new and it was still having tragically huge issues. I lost about 10 days of time, all together. If your machine's main systems are still working well and it's just smaller stuff failing (not hd or motherboard issues) than you might have to wait a bit longer.
