I'm guessing the upgrade kits are going to be quickest to ship.

Long as I get it within the first week of school I'm happy.

Do you have a screen name of some sort? You seem full of questions and new to the world of Macs, send me a private message if you want to have a little chat and learn some things.

What price drop?

In Finnish store the x1900 is still 350 euros (~400 dollars). I hope they will drop it in tune with the American store. Paying almost double for the upgrade is an outrage. (and would make me think about cancelling my order)

In the Dutch store the X1900 is still 350 Euro, but they now offer a 160 GB HD for the MacPro. This wasn't there before! The only thing is, I want one with two 250 GB HD's, but the second bay (as is the third and fourth) can only be configured with a 500 GB HD. Let's wait and see what happens the next few days!

That's strange given the fact that I ordered my Mac Pro August 11th with the 160GB HD :D
(And yes I ordered in the Dutch store...)

Well, it looks like the x1950xt will not materialize. I don't think they would drop the price of the x1900xt just to change it into the x1950xt.

Oh well. Maybe they still integrated the new cooling device?!?!?

Would be nice if today were the day, simple fact of the matter is though, Apples shipping them when they're ready to be shipped. Might be today, might be in one week, might be in two weeks. September 19th (my estimated ship date) isn't that far off. :)

I'm starting community college on September 18th, and I was hoping to get my Mac Pro at least a few days before that. I'll be away from home from morning until evening every weekday once college starts......

i got free upgraded shipping just for calling them as well. Got my 100 back and my ipod came in last week.
How'd you manage to get both the money back and free shipping?

As reported in another thread, a X1900XT upgrade kit shipped today.

Anyone's Mac Pro's shipping?

Just got the email 10 minutes ago (10pm PST) that it's shipping, and due on the 6th of sept! YEAH! :)

That's a full 2.5 weeks sooner that I was originally quoted!

Alright! It's about time. :D We demand benchmarks, pics, everything when you get it. ;)

EDIT: Just checked your previous posts, you had a September 19th ship date like mine. Is the tracking showing the origina location yet? Fullerton or Rancho Cordova?

I ordered it Aug 12th, and was originally given 3-5 Weeks, with ship by date of Sept 21.. Then I called to modify my credit card info and was told it was going to ship by the 13th last week, and now (this evening) the email stating that it's already shipped.... and just my luck, we've got a long weekend, as I've paid for expedited shipping which should have only taken 2 days, now 4..

Anyway, I'll prolly take the better part of a day installing all of the RAM, Hard Drives (RAID), migrating software/apps from my Dual G5, etc.. then I can post some pics/info..

I bought Quake IV, which I am told us a UB app, so if someone can explain to me (in simply terms) how to benchmark that game, I'd be glad to get to it.. or maybe someone can point me to an "X-bench" type benchmark to download?
