It was supposed to be shipped today. This is after they have screwed up the billing 3 times and overdrafted my account. I was told last night that "it might be shipped out tonight" NOPE. Delayed a week. Why would a company advertise a release on a new product and not have it available for sale??? By the way the Apple retail stores CANNOT sell you what you want, they don't have it. Love apple computers and would never use anything but. They definitely get a F for customer service though. I'm beginning to think I should just settle for the 2.66 so I can actually get a new computer today. Unbelievable. I’ve been trying to order the 3ghz for over two weeks now.

The X1900 video card and Airport adapter are creating the delay, not the towers themselves.

I purchased one online and am waiting on it to arrive (Sept. 20th). I currently have a 1.8GHz iMac G5 and the difference was incredible. Granted, I never used one of the quad G5s, but the Mac Pro is fast... really fast. Some basic simple filters and processing in photoshop seemed pretty quick to considering it is not a native app. Overall I am happy to have purchased it and can't wait for it to arrive.
