Dang, these 8 core 2.93GHz refurb units last less than 60 minutes. :eek:

I don't really get it but apparently people think these are good buys. Must be the ~$1K bump for 12-core.

cheers to the longs

Are you kidding? $3600 is a steal for those machines.

Keep in mind that they cost about $6000 a view weeks ago and you get a 2.4GHz machine for the same price directly from Apple.

Those aren't 8 cores.
I ordered one this morning.
after my inquiry/ questioning[I told him the model # was for a quad],the sales guy insisted they were '09 octo's and they share the same model iD as the quad's.
huh?..
He insisted they were 8 cores,even after his manager double checked.
Then called me back 1/2 hour later sheepishly,admitting it was a mistake
Bummer.
Order cancelled

Lol
They weren't informed by Apple they were informed by me.
They were going to ship those quads as 8 cores
Glad I triple checked the model # before they ran my card.
sometimes if it seems to good to be true,it IS to good to be true.
 
Yeah,can't beat the price.
I just grabbed another refurb today: 2.93 8 core[ for my second Pro tools room]
I was surprised/skeptical when i got an alert email from Refurbme.com that directed me straight to the sale at Apple.. low and behold,they actually had one!
