Well, even though I said I would wait for dual 3.0's to come out, I decided to go ahead and purchased a dual 2.5. I decided I had waited long enough, and wanted it now. I got it configured with 1 GB RAM, 250 GB HDD, Nvidia 6800GT, and the Bluetooth module/keyboard/mouse option.

I figured with the Dell monitors going on sale for $550, I was saving a ton (well, not really since I got two of them, but its still cheaper than a single 23 inch display).

I am quoted 3-5 weeks until shipment. Does it usually take this long, or are they just late guessing?
15 inch MacBook Pro 2.16 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 7200 RPM 100GB HDD.

Dual 2.5 GHz Power Mac G5, 1 GB RAM, 250 GB HDD, ATI Radeon X800XT.

Hopefully, the ship date is a worst-case. Probably the video card that's holding it up. Those are still in short supply, it seems.

Looks like you got a great machine. That ship date looks long, but waiting is half the fun right. . .?

Congrats on the new buy!

I bought a 2.5 myself this week with a 30 DP and boy do i love this machine!

I didnt have to wait that long since it got delivered in two days, maybe because i bought from the Apple Store.

For those who wait, dont, this machine is the bomb, period.
its a fact that im dope.

I put my order in for a G5 this week and was told it would take 5 days for the build time. I received an email from Apple only two days later saying that it was ready for delivery!

Unless there is a stock shortage with any parts, I think your order will arrive sooner than the date given.
