Now there's the bad boy getting to flex its muscles properly with native software, and what muscles they are. I'm impressed.Laslo Panaflex said:

Probably because its not a revision A. Apple royally crapped up on the fan design in them and I believe a large number of them sound like mine, which is extremely loud. It has really gotten to a breaking point with me, and I feel like I need a new mac JUST to use the computer in silence.
On Topic: I LOVE the no cable look of the innards of the Mac Pro.
Looks like it's time to update your sig, Laslo.
Hopefully the Mac Pro's won't be bitten by a Rev. A bug

Yes, I don't know if boot camp will work yet (driver issues maybe) but I am deffinately installing parallels and already signed up for the VMware beta
Bastard, that was freakin' quick! Sonofab!tch, apparently I have to wait till September for my 3Ghz & X1900XT
DVD Drives....
If I only order the one drive, is the second drive 'flap' still visible?
Congrats on the Mac - I called Apple UK for Student Discount - they're only giving 8%. On my Dual 2GHz G5, I got 15.9%
Still, need to find out what discount Regent's Street are offering with an NUS card. Does anyone know if the Retail stores in the UK have them in?

I haven't looked through all the pages, so I don't know if this has been asked yet. If it has, excuse me.
How's the noise level/heat on this baby? It must be smoking fast! (Does it come with Front Row?)

Ram
Any idea yet if a gig of RAM is going to be enough, I ordered a stock model and ordered a pair of 512mb DIMMS to go with it. I bought it from a reseller because of the trade in they gave me on my G5. I bought the RAM from them as a "toss in" because I didn't want to slow up the wait, thought a base system would be faster to get. RAM is very expensive, so I opted for only an extra gig. I usually work with Photoshop, Go-live and In-design open at the same time as well as mail, browser, font management etc.. I wonder if we can get a baseline when somebody gets one with more RAM if having more than a Gig makes a difference in basic stuff?

Wow honestly that thing is a BEAST! Congrats!
After reading through this Im still amazed that you got it in less than a day! Was it a store pickup? It doesn't look that way.
