If at some time in the future, you need to take your iMac to the Genius Bar for warranty work you run the risk of having your warranty declared void. It is just not worth the risk to use off brand tape even if it is much cheaper.

Wes Groleau: > Does it need to be grounded to do it's job? I suppose, but the means of doing that would be quite apparent to the person installing the tape.
