Did you consider joining the Student ADC, for $100? Then you could get the 2.0GHZ MacBook for $2000 even, before tax.
What's that? I have a student discount, but what is ADC?

Edit: nvmd, now I know. That sounds like a pain in the butt to do and I don't even develop.

Well... yes and no. I would suggest editing off external HDD's (7200 RPM) unless its a dire emergency. I have been editing off my 4200 RPM drive lately, because my eMac seems to be boycotting firewire. FCE works fine off the slower drive. Good luck, sounds like you are getting a cool setup.

I've been editing off my 160 GB 7200 external for a while now, see the sig?

Even if you do not develop, you can still join for 100 dollars and get discounts on many many different products, some even more than once a year.

I would do this but I consider it unethical, however some others may disagree.

Try giving this link a try http://store.apple.com/AppleStore/WebObjects/ADC?qprm=38839

If that doesn't work, try this and click on the ADC Hardware Purchase Store link.

Thank for the link, unfortunately it doesn't work. ;\ Someone suggested having ~ 500$ off the 2.0 GHz MBP with the one-time student ADC discount. Can you confirm this information, is it the same discount for the 1.83 GHz config?

Even with the subscription at 99$, it's a huge discount over the standard student discount. Might consider getting a Cinema Display too now.. ;)

Thanks,
