Am I able to walk into an Apple Store and buy a mac and walk home with it, or do I have to order one through them and have it delivered to my house. I don't need any extra features, just a stock Mac.

Second, is a 10,000 rpm WD Rapture drive to hot for a new iMac?

depends on which one. Macbook...not yet. If you order a standard package for most other systems (like the imac/powerbook/powermac, etc) they can get it to you right then. However, if you want to upgrade certain parts of it, that can possibly take then a day+ to get ready (i was going to buy a powermac in the store and just upgrading the video card was going to set me back 1-2 days). But other than that...basic systems are avaliable in-store

so if you say stock mac...im pretty sure they'll have what your looking for in-store

not sure about the wd rapture, is that through apple or aftermarket?

typically they have them in stock so you walk in, pay for it and carry it out.....a warning tho, with newly released products you may find that it takes a little bit of time for their supply to catch up with demand

Thanks! Well, I just bought an iMac G5 from the Apple Store. I was stuck having to pay the extra $50 for wireless keyboard/mouse. It's all they had left, so they say. The keyboard I don't mind, I hate the mouse. No scrolling wheel. I already switched back to my Microsoft mouse.
