I'll place my order a few days before they are expected to ship. I have to pay a CC down a little bit before I can order. I was planning on ordering about 2 months after the keynote anyways. If the Specs were true, and they are, so it's a Dual 2GHZ for me too. I'm hoping Apple gets us a better Nvidia card in there before I order though. The one they are offering is for sh*t. I think I'll get better results in Maya with my GeForce 3 TI. , If your going to say get the ATI your joking. ATI sucks dog b@ll$ in Maya from what I hear, and read.
I am excited though. I like new case. It looks like a Machine. (like the terminator)

I was curious if anyone had ship dates in August, but so far it sounds like start of September is the earliest for any dual G5.
I bet there will be one G5 somewhere in a Apple store for sale at the end of August, so SJ can say that they started shipping in August. The majority will probably ship in September/October .
'on or before Sept 2' too.
I left it a stock model hoping to expedite things a bit, I will let you know when it arrives.
On or before 9/2/03...

Do you get charged now, or when the machine ships?
I haven't been charged yet for my order. I assume I won't be until the computer has shipped.
The iPod I ordered at the same time shipped today and my bank hasn't shown a charge for it yet.
The guy said he called Apple, and they said to him, that the powermac G5 where not in production already. yes no G5 in the Apple's assembly lines. and 1000 towers have been ordered in France. Don't expect them before september.
He said that he has the info of the new towers from Apple only three days before the keynote. But their wholesalers announce them this info a week before.

Nice.
You can get about 4 gig of ram independent for about £400 quid. (Sterling.) I wouldn't buy Apple prices on ram...
4 gig ram dual G5 with the Radeon 9800? Run like s*** off a shovel.
I can't wait to run Lightwave on one of these babies...

I could have gone to an official Apple Store, but I decided to use the closer, local business -- and I'm hoping that they aren't given second-class status regarding when they receive their first G5s.
I ordered a Dual 2ghz machine with the CTO option of a Bluetooth module...
I have been quoted an estimated delivery date of 1st or 2nd week of September. \
However it was 1st or 2nd week of August for the single G5 machines...
Also, Where can a person get the 1GHz DDR stics? I can only find it in 512MHz. Are they in existance yet, or is Apple having them custom made?
I'm going to need 8 of them.
just a guess based on what i've seen happen in the past. Apple is really trying to push their retail outlets.
also, i fully expect the low end machine to ship much sooner than the DP high end machines.
