Auslander, if it isn't bolted down Apple's going to ship it! 9/30 is the end of their quarter so don't be too shocked if you see yours suddenly appear! Mine is scheduled 10/13 or before and these sudden early shipping posts are music to my ears!
I just wish I'd see some 6800's and/or 30" displays showing up.

Yeah, mine has the 6800 option, so I doubt it will be before 10/08 now. Still, that's just around the corner at this point...
I called my reseller on Friday and they said that they recently got a huge shipment from Apple that took care of most of the backorders and that I'll probably receive my G5 10-14 days after I order.
You probably saw the 30" and 6800 on the Apple board that Mr. Smith said shipped. This is the ONLY one I have seen and for some reason I think that entire order was imaginary. Ordered on 8/8 and the first one reported shipped? Mine's scheduled for Thursday (9/30). As of yesterday that was still the date.
my G5 dual 2.5 shipped on 9/23/04 (it was bto with 1 gig ram /240 gig HD/BT/nVidea 6800 the proposed ship date is slated as Oct 7 or before. the 6800 will come later in a seperate package on or before 10/25/04 maybe they are increasing output.
Harry, this may be a good sign! As of today ( 9/28 ) my 30" display and 6800 card are STILL scheduled to ship this Thursday 9/30. Two days for a FedEx number or new date.

Let us hope!
Well it's got to start sometime! Oct 1 (or thereabouts) would seem a logical time. Good luck!

I've got my fingers crossed for ya!! I hope they can start shipping soon. I'm dying to get mine. I'll be watching for you update on 9/30. My last 2 shipping dates changed on the date of shippment in the afternoon. If they ship yours maybe the flood gates will open and I'll get mine before the 10/22 date I show now.

I have a good feeling about this. With all the G5's shipped with the 6800's and 30" display's "to come later" and at $4,000.00 a pop Apple could ship one heck of a lot of money out the door and have a lot of completed sales ($millions I'm guessing) before the end of their business quarter 9/30. I also have good reason to believe Apple has and is sitting on tons of 30" displays waiting for the 6800's. Getting the displays shipped will also lower their inventory numbers for the quarter.
Based on that I believe if Apple can ship these they sure as heck will! Right now I am pleased my vendor ordered these seperately from my G5 2.5! If I get a FedEx number Thursday I will be even happier!

When they ship the box and card/display separately is there any video card installed to take the place of the 6800?

In my case my vendor ordered the G5 seperately so it will come with the standard ATI card. They will install the 6800 and keep the ATI which is fine with me. FYI - My vendor is up grading my 1 gig of RAM to 2 - 1 gig modules. They keep the 2 - 512's it was ordered with. I get 2 gig of RAM with the ability to go to 8 for about $350.00 -v- $1,000.00.
There are a lot of people like me that just want to see Apple is shipping 6800's. Hopefully between now and Thursday there will be a lot of people getting email that will bring great joy!
Hmm.. I wonder why my order (from July 13th) is due to ship on October 8th then. Seems like things have got a bit out of whack...sheesh.
Auslander, maybe, just maybe there will be a ton of people pleasantly surprised on or about 9/30, not just me! Maybe, just maybe with all the "ship dates" Apple has given I wouldn't at all be surprised to find they just tell you it shipped instead of going back and changing all the dates. It could also be that for whatever reason they "hoped" they would ship mine by 9/30 when they finally got around to scheduling my order to a date. In all of this chaos Auslander, if they do in fact ship my order you can bet your's and many others are on the way! At the worst if they ship mine YOU and many others will have confidence you'll have yours in a couple of days instead of wondering if Apple will ever ship and to me that's GREAT news.
On the other hand we may both be wondering when this Friday!

FedEx has a delivery time of monday 9/27 by 4:30pm for my G5.
Apple said it would ship on or before tuesday 9/28.
I'm getting mine with an ATI9800 a day before it is supposed to ship!
Can't wait to tear it up G5 style starting monday!
I called my reseller on Friday and they said that they recently got a huge shipment from Apple that took care of most of the backorders and that I'll probably receive my G5 10-14 days after I order.
That works for me.
