In my browsing of my dream machine in the ADC Apple Store i noticed one flaw. If you order a display with a powerbook, or get a second display with a Powermac during the customization of your mac you end up paying full price for the Display+DVI to ADC adapter. Just wanted to point this out to anyone who decides to use ADC. It works just fine going back and getting the display and adapter seperatly after you have cousomized your computer.

The ADC discount only have effect on one complete system, that is:

A Power Mac with an Apple display (only one)

A Power Book or iBook.

I think you can also get an iPod with the machine with the discount, but not an extra display...

Yeah..You're right. I ordered a 17" and a 10G iPod and I got the discount for both. Though I cancelled the order in anticipation that a new iPod maybe in introduced tomorrow (4/28)

Yep, I noticed this too. I promptly took that display out of my cart and simply went to the Displays section and added the discounted display and then to Accessories and got the discounted DVI-to-ADC adapter.
