Just got off the phone with Apple. They will be replacing my week 49 iMac 27" (received yesterday with bonus yellow tinge!). I was actually willing to hold onto it until they had sorted the issue but they pushed me to get it replaced. Fingers crossed the replacement has no issues!
Got a tip for us?

I ordered my i7 three weeks ago through Domayne. I called them today to check ETA. The store said Apple told them "some time in January".
So yeah, same story.

Wonder if the imac is coming soon???
*edit* Had a phone call from an excited DJ's rep telling me that my order had arrived. He said that the remote was stuck on the outside of the box, and only one had arrived and it was for me...
I asked to go check to make sure that it is my QC, after a few minuites he confirmed that it is my remote, but it was a C2D for someone else, so not my QC... dang, and i was nearly running out the door to go pick it up...
Friday I got a call I could hardly believe. My quad core was on it's way From Sydney and I'd have it soon.
So I've had a few days of excitement.
Tuesday two machines arrive but not mine.
Wednesday nothing. A little worried. I hope my quad hasn't been commandered in the system.
Thursday nothing. More concern and now phone calls. Confirmation that something has gone wrong and they're trying to sort it.
Friday another phone message left for me.
Yay it's finally arrived. I ring through to find out when I can pick it up.
Talk to the friendly people.
Advised my machine has been damaged in transit and is being replaced.
Huge apologies and more apologies.
No quad.
I can say "It is better to have not received it than to have had your hopes raised and dashed and being left broken and shattered on the floor realising there is going to be a long wait".
I won't be posting for a bit. I'm off for therapy.
Ssshhh. Keep quiet. I'm trying to count to 10. (100. 1,000. 10,000.)

Mine is W5752**** so maybe mine will be built in week 52? id be interested to hear what are the rest of you DJ guys order numbers starting with (first 4 numbers)

I just got an email from Apple my i5 has shipped.
When i had a look at the tracking number at TNT it said this:
Collected-Cust Premises (CIT) 11/12/2009 11:56:50 Sydney Mas. PRI
Electronically Lodged 11/12/2009 13:03:24 Sydney Mas. PRI
Why is it not coming directly from China??? It's coming from Sydney.

Why did it take 10 working days for them to ship? I hope I am getting at least a week 50 imac!
Hence why the factory has been stocking up the Apple warehouses so that orders can ship sooner for stock items (online only of course)
My apple remote came from sydney.. Safely in the hold bay at DJ's
I ended up cancelling the second order with reseller and going direct with mac.
The dp to dvi adaptor came straight from sydney overnight. Mac is not yet shipped.
My Order Number is W5773****.
I doube the 3/4 numbers are week as there are definately not 73 weeks in a year.

So that would mean if I have a yellow tinge issue, Apple could overnight me another i5 from Sydney?
As requested guys, here are some shots of the yellow tinge on my week 49 27" i7. You can see that when the grey bars are together at the top of the screen they look pretty much the same. However when dragged apart, the one at the bottom is clearly a more "yellowy" grey.

wowyes you can really see that thinge! how frustrating!!
Me to, I really can't believe some people classify this as "normal"wowyes you can really see that thinge! how frustrating!!
Me to, I really can't believe some people classify this as "normal"
some people are hopeless. like one guy at the apple store that believed that it was normal for MPs to idle at 60°C.
While there has been a few ups and downs, I'm finally happy where I am at with Apple.
I've gone from PC to Apple and would have liked a smoother transition. I'm still happy with the decision I've made and the communication I've got to.
I'm looking forward to my quad.
