I'm getting my first Mac!
I'm SOOO happy. I'm getting a new 933Mhz Power Mac with a 17" Apple Studio Display and the Apple Pro Speakers. I'm so exited!
It was ordered from the online Apple store today and I can't wait until it gets here. I live in MI about 45 minutes to an hour from Detroit. Can anyone who lives around the Detriot area tell me how long it took for there's to ship? I'm hoping it will be here by Monday but it's understandable if it isn't. If I knew where it was coming from I would know about how many days it would take because I work at a store where we ship UPS, FedEx, etc.
Oh and can anyone comment on the Apple Pro Speakers and/or link me a place where they reviewed them? I hope they're halfway decent... <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" /> I was going to buy a used Cube off of eBay but I'm much more happy with this decision. I needed a computer that will last me about 6 years (2 more years of high school and 4 years of college [maybe more?]). Anyway I'm out of here for now. Talk to you all later.

EDIT: What is it with me today? Must be the anticipation.

The Pro speakers are not audiophile grade, but they're good. Obviously, they don't rock the house, but they're clear and clean. I'm happy with them.
Obviously, a sub would improve them, but you should be aware that Apple only supports the standalone iSub for iMacs. I've heard from an Apple Store employee (sotto voce) that it works on other machines under OS X, but if it doesn't work for you, you're out of luck. Harmon-Kardon will be more than happy to sell you their SoundSticks package, which comes with a version of the iSub, but that's costly enough (ca. $200) that I'd only consider it if you were unhappy with the Pro Speakers and unwilling to try the iSub.
Good luck, and if you have any questions or concerns, ask away. Welcome to Macintosh.

<a href="http://www.harmanmultimedia.com" target="_blank">www.harmanmultimedia.com</a> says any slot-loading iMac, any iBook, 333 MHz or later PowerBooks, the G4 Cube, and Power Mac G4s will work with the iSub in OS 10.1.
