I've had nothing but good experiences with the refurbs from Factory Direct -- both my old Windows desktop (which I brought into work to replace the horrid TPS report machine I was issued) and my new Windows desktop at home were Factgory Direct Refrurbs that ran without a hitch.

$280CAD + tax for a 10Gb 2G iPod aint exactly a good deal tho. I'm seeing 15Gb 3G w/dock, remote, case going used for $250-$300.
