Ordered mine with the 3.2 chips and 8800 first day, expected ship Feb 13th, Delivery Feb 14th

Think some of the delay on that is 10.5.2 also. That is where the 8800s drivers are as posted in other threads. Which means not only do they have to finish coding 10.5.2 but then they have to install it on all the backordered computers that are supposed to ship with the 8800. My guess is that 10.5.2 will be at least a week after MacWorld.... not sure how many Apple staffers who are currently at MacWorld will have to have input on the update getting finished.

I am hoping that they aren't offering a computer with hardware they don't either have on hand or know when they are going to get.

need someone with the scoop on NVIDIA shipping and supplies :)

Ordered mine with graphics card update, ship by 21-Feb. Arrives... ha... 4-Mar. I don't know where its going to get lost for those 2 weeks.
Anyways, I've waited 7 years to buy a brand new mac so I can wait, though admittedly I am impatient knowing it will eventually show up.

:p

I ordered the stock on the 8th, it shipped on the 12th, and got to me on the 15th. Probably could have arrived sooner, but the 12th was a Friday.

Got it last night and was up till midnight playing with it (that's late for me on a "work" night!). It's an awesome machine!

Ordered mine on Tuesday AM as well, stock build except for upgrade to wireless keyboard and MM. Original ship dates were Jan 11-15. As of noon today it's still not flagged as shipped - guess I'll be getting the same email tomorrow.:(

As expected, I got the "unexpected delay" email from Apple this morning. Dates have slipped by a week and now says shipping by Jan 18 to Jan 23.

Hey mrcandy, sorry to hear about your delay. Do let us know when it ships.

I'm curious, what is "MM"?

Waiting in Canada

I ordered my dual quad-core the day the new Mac Pros were announced. My only change to the stock format was swapping a 750 GB hard drive for the stock 320. Originally slated to ship January 11-15. Like mrcandy I got the "unexpected delay" e-mail yesterday. Now says January 18-23 as a ship date.

VanMan I'm in Calgary - maybe this delay is a Canada thing. Previously when I've ordered from the online Apple store the item has shipped from California. Others in this thread are reporting their MP's as arriving (even those ordered after the first day) so I don't understand why they'd ship to US destinations but not Canada:mad:

question.

did anyone get a new macpro with a raid card yet???

i'm curious if there is a wait for 10.5.2 as well or maybe there is just a huge backorder. cause i'm due for around feb 13th as well.

My Mac Pro is due to arrive in New Orleans tonight, and I called FedEx to have them hold it for me at the destination - I'm gonna go pick it up tomorrow morning, rather than wait half the day to get it ;)

My order status has now moved to "Prepared for Shipment", so it looks like they'll make the earliest of the revised shipping dates. Hopefully gets here on Tuesday.

..and you ordered the 8800 GT?!? This could be great news if so! I have been waiting over 3 years to finally upgrade to my new New Mac Pro with the 8800 GT card I just ordered. The 3-5 week additional wait was about the last thorn I could take on this.

I ordered a CTO MP on Jan 08 with the 8800GT and single CPU and the expected ship-by date was Feb 13. I couldn't wait that long... My 1.8 PowerMac G5 is getting old in the tooth. I cancelled my order last night and plan on buying a stock machine at the local Apple Store, if they have them.
But, wow, $2800 is one hell of a lot of money for a computer! :mad:

As has mine. Hope it gets out today so it can travel on the weekend.

I would have preferred a desktop-class machine, but I expect to keep this for a while. (My current desktop is a G4/350 -- a model Apple sold for all of a month and a half. Yikes!)

My first PC clone cost $3000 -- 33MHz, 2M RAM, 60M disk.
