IIRC, you can add AppleCare anytime within the first year to extend the
warranty. A simple google search for AppleCare brings up among many other hits:
<http://www.apple.com/support/products/proplan.html>. If you're query relates
to opening up the Mac mini, one could ascertain from this excerpt from its
manual, that if you damage anything, it isn't covered:

"Do Not Make Repairs Yourself
Your Mac mini doesn't have any user-serviceable parts. Do not attempt to open
your Mac mini. If your Mac mini needs service, consult the service and support
information that came with your computer for instructions about how to contact
an Apple Authorized Service Provider or Apple for service.
If you open your Mac mini or install items, you risk damaging your equipment,
and such damage isn't covered by the limited warranty on your Mac mini."
