Let's see. He's at Yale so that means he's on Eastern Standard Time. So hopefully after about an hour or so his workday will be done and he'll have time to spend telling us all about his new machine. At least that's what I'm hoping for!
I don't beleave it until I see a picture of it with todays newspaper in the picture with it.
PLEASE POST KEYBOARD & MOUSE PICTURES!!!
Yes, I would love to know about the mouse! Did Apple come through a supply a 2 button mouse with a scroll wheel or is it the same old one button impractical mouse?
The innards remind me of the Quadra 900/950. Motherboard, processor, hard drive, CD drive, and PCI slots (NuBus on the Quadra of course) are all in the same place. Power supply is significantly smaller on the G5 though.
Currently on the G5, altivec came in at 3.4 3975. I just got a 1.5 8628 on my dual 1.25G4. I ran again and got 3.3 4055 on the g5. Its rather quiet, with my G4 making much more noise, not that much more, but you can hear the G4 under my desk, the G5 is a much quieter. I have the picture, how do I post it here?
can he use Xbench for some benchmarks, or does it not work with X.2.7 or the G5's?
Sigh. That's it. I'm at the wrong university. I asked today at McGill about being able to pick up a 1.6 or 1.8 off the floor without an order and it was suggested that I might get lucky around November. Looks like I'll have to play the waiting game with the Apple Store. Fun.
Can't help but LMAO at those of you seeking proof this G5 delivery is real? Wether it is or not, nothing on the 'net surprises or gets me into a frenzy anymore.

Congrats Rich!
However, given that the Yale Divinity School is famous for its raucous parties, we may not see richcigar for some time....

You of course will be proved wrong over the next 2 weeks

How about answering some questions..
1) What is the configuration you have?
2) Can you run some other tests like Xbench, SPEC or that new German one? UT2003? Bouncetest? Anything?
3) Can you run something with the new Photoshop plugin?
4) How does it feel? Compare and contrast to your other machine.
5) More info..

cool...My first impression is that with one processor you could surely find a way to mount two more drives down there (hook em up to a pci ATA card.)
You might muck up the airflow a bit with drives, though.

I can hardly wait to see the G5 case mods that get posted.

Well then you are BLIND. It is obviously a large pile of G5 boxes and it is REAL. They got 40 yesterday.
Its the same crap that comes with new eMacs.
