I noticed If I were to order from Amazon today I would get it a day sooner than my pre-order:

I just bought my new mini from amazon. Got the 2.3 i7 + 256gb samsung 830 + 8gb of ram. 1009.00 shipped via amazon prime. I have a 2nd HD flex cable in the mail. All should be arriving monday/tuesday.

Already found my 2011 i7 a new home!
 
my i7 arrived today. from jr.com I am migrating my osx to it. i could not boot with a 10.8.2 lion boot setup that was booting my 2011 machine. It is my lacie little big disk setup that boots my 2011 machine perfectly.

If apple has broken t-bolt booting on these new minis I will be really pissed.
