Sweet! OMGr0oxxr! that's the most awesome box I ever saw!:eek: :p

nah, it's cool, how did you configure you most configurable and speedy mac ever?:D
 
Congratulations and thank you for sharing! :)

I'm surprised they use the Quad Xeon terminology on the box, considering they use a different choice of words on the store site...
 
Sweet! Thanks alot!:D

It's gonne be quite a speedbump from your Dual 2 GHz...:p How did you spec your MP?
 
You wouldn't by chance be able to let me know the Brand & Model number for the hard drive would ya?

Seagate Barracuda, didn't get the model #

I have to go to back to work, just came home at lunch on the chance that I would catch the FedEx guy and I did. I will mess around tonight.
 
Waiting for mine

I ordered one with the ATI1900XTX Graphics card another 1GB of extra memory (no third party memory available yet), wireless and a 500GB hard disk.

Seeing pictures of one makes the wait seem longer, but I wanted the better graphics card.

Congratulations on getting yours:D

Thank you very much kind sir
 
I can't see from the photos, do the 7300GT cards have the SLI bridge on them? Even if they don't, the nVidia Windows drivers support SLI without a bridge card which I've tried before to good success. Two 7300GTs >= one 7600GT which would be a good mid-range setup for gaming.

Stock nvidia 7300 video card, upgrading it later didn't want to deal with the delay.

How much of a delay would it have been?

From what I have read, the ATI card was vastly superior when compared to the stock nvidia it came with. I noticed that the ATI was a bit more money and the apple store did specifically say there would be a delay if you build to order with the better videocards, but I definitely would have waited it out to get the superior video card.

That is just me tho of course, and I am sure the system you configured will be just fine for your needs. Also, that seemed like some damn quick delivery! thanks for the pics!
 
Congratulations. Thanks for posting the pics - it looks great. Those drive sleds are sexy.

And yeah, find a friend with an x1900XT (or 7300GT) in their PC and see if it works. Enquiring minds want to know! ;)
