Waiting for 27" Quad to SHIP thread

$420 is a lot of dough (that's almost a MacMini ;) )
I would wait 2 weeks for a guaranteed $420, but not for the speculation of $100

I agree and couldn't say it better myself. $420 is quite a bit of money. Could put that towards a new Intel X-25M or save up for a vacation!
 
Anyone who ordered an i5/i7 in November get a "prepared for shipment" or "shipped" confirmation yet?

Unfortunately not, bought mine stock i5 on 1st Nov.
Still "Not shipped"

Ah cool - I figure that we will have to wait a little longer. I ordered an i7 stock on Nov 1 as well. The remote went into "prepared for shipment" but the iMac still says "not yet shipped"

Nobody has 2TB of data on one computer, this is insane...
Backuping will be a nightmare! :D

Could not agree more... I have three extenal drives and it works well with my setup. Have full backup on one and TM on the other with plenty to spare on them all.

I hear you and what pisses me off are the one's that ordered the same exact thing I did but 3 days later and theirs is shipping. WTF!

i have asked for an explanation ! is it so difficult to "help" an user?

When you try to order a quad, the configuration panel on the website comes up with "i5" already checked off. Then you can change the processor to an "i7". That's what he meant by "upgrade"-- he meant "upgrade the order" not "upgrade an existing i5 machine".

Ive spent the last 2 weeks preparing my backup solutions for the iMac 2tb. I removed 4 500gb drives from my Drobo which were being using for TM on my MBP. I slapped 4 1tb drives in the Drobo and have that waiting for my iMac! I then bought 2 of these bad boys for my 500gb drives to create 2 1tb enclosures. Worked like a charm! 1 is now my airdisk for TMs for my MBP, the other is a scratch disk for ISO rips of blurays and then the bluray repo. Now all I need is my i7!!!

By the way, I just noticed this is over 100 at newegg. I bought mine instore at CompUSA (AKA Tiger Direct) for something like 50 a pop. I think I may have struck gold! Either way, its a nice enclosure to turn 2 drives into one big one.

At least until the next update...

Edit: I just got off the phone with Apple Canada, i7/4 GB/2 TB ordered Oct. 28 will ship Nov. 19, free upgrade to expedited shipping (now listed on my order as 2-3 days).

To the doubters that Apple is fair regardless of country of order. I ordered mine on Oct 26 and I am still in you know where....

You just have to love :apple:

Especially to one of those external sites. The new iMacs with 4TB will be out by the time the initial backup was complete.
