Mac Pro 8800gt Are Shipping!

My Mac Pro was scheduled to be shipped on Feb 19th with overnight delivery.

Tonight when I got home, I got an email saying my Mac Pro had shipped and will arrive in the morning, a full 7 days earlier than Apple claimed!

W00t for 10.5.2 and the Leopard Graphics Update!

I absolutely cannot wait to unbox it. I got 2 more GBs of RAM for it and a Raptor to be used as the boot disk!!!

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Best. Feeling. Ever. :D

(oh and I'm posting this on my new 23" Apple Cinema Display, with which I am seriously considering marriage ;) :p )

After seeming to sit in Bloomington, CA, with no update on Fedex for three days (which had me in a mild panic) my Mac Pro is sitting in the Fedex facility in Keasbey, New Jersey (very close to Brooklyn). The estimated delivery is for the 13th, so I'm hoping to have it tomorrow.

I ordered the standard configuration, with the exception of the NVIDIA card.
 
My order date was Feb 9, with expected shipping between Feb 21-26. Just checked my order status, and it shipped Feb 12!
 
Just got up this morning, and thanks to the free overnight shipping Apple gave me, my MP is now less then 10 miles from my office. I'm supposed to have it by 3. Looks like I'll be glued to a tracking screen today. So much for work getting done.

Hang in there Man!

To you and all the others out there still waiting: I know how you feel, but your day is not far off! I waited for a whole month (ordered Jan. 15th, received Feb. 12th) but I finally got it and you will too, very soon! I read ten positive posts for every frustrated one. They're rollin' em out.

Keep the faith!

BTW My new 30" cinema display is so beautiful I could cry! Can't wait to play WoW at full res!

Over and out!
 
Nothing to do but wait

Ugh!

My box was ordered Jan 31 through AppleCare as a replacement for my existing MP with a Ship By date of Feb 22.

I realize how lucky I am and shipping is already specified as overnight. It's not like I can call up and get better shipping or money off but l'm living with a broken machine with all sorts of LogicBoard and video issues. The waiting is killing me!

Man, you just hit on something too true. My projected ship date was 20FEB. My Mac Pro should show up today. Therefore, if it weren't for sitting here in the forum all this time, I'd be pleasantly surprised by the fact that I'm getting it a week early. :rolleyes:

I gotta lay off the boards next time I order something from Apple. Too much stress! :D
 
Install Discs ?

I received my MP today!!!
I'm letting it acclimate before I start it up!
Can't wait!!!

I found the discs, they were hiding right in front of me?
 
Delivered! (I placed my order on January 22nd). I probably won't hook it up until tonight because I need to do a bunch of backup stuff with my current computer and cleanup of the area. I ordered 8GB of RAM (from OWC) and two extra hard drives (from Newegg), each of which I'll install one at a time—after making sure the base configuration works—to make troubleshooting that much easier.
 
I'm getting my machine tomorrow. I have my desk all ready and I already gave my old computer to my daughter. I have a Samsung F1 750GB HD and 2 1GB sticks of RAM ready to install. All I need now is my MP :D

My status: Ordered 15 Jan: 3.2 Ghz 8 core 2x1gb 1TB disk (w/ 8800 GT, of course.) Fulfillment status changed to "Prepared for shipment" last Saturday. FedEx picked it up (finally) late Monday from Fullerton, CA. FedEx tracking now says "Feb 12, 2008 - 11:46 AM - Arrived at FedEx location - OAKLAND, CA." It should arrive in Petaluma sometime this evening, or very early tomorrow morning, and be delivered to my office in north Marin county tomorrow in the early afternoon.

FedEx tracking update: Feb 13, 2008 - 8:51 AM - On FedEx vehicle for delivery - PETALUMA, CA

Now I won't be getting any work done :D
 
Woohoo! My MP is sitting here in the studio with me ready to go home in a few hours.

:D
 
UGH! and DOUBLE UGH!!!!

I just called the guy at Apple who I'm specifically dealing with on the replacement about my order. He went and checked with the worman in charge of order allocation. After checking her spreadsheet she found that manufacturing has "acklowledged his order" which means that all the parts are ready and the box just has to be assembled. While my online order status says ships by Feb 22, according to this woman it will now ship by Feb 23 and even with overnight delivery won't make it to the store until Feb 25 or 26.

I swear I may actually need the 29th day of this month just to get this box in February not March!

Aye, 'tis a relief. I'm going to have a scotch.

Is it possible that just the mass build-up of orders (gotta be a few, I'd imagine) combined with the logistical nightmare (again, that I imagine) Apple must have created for itself & the various production lines all cranking out BTO Mac Pros bottlenecked and made for the seemingly complex way they went about getting these out the door?

'Course, had I not been visiting here, I wouldn't know any better, would I? Oof. Whatever. At any rate, I hate obsessing about where a shipment is, but I can't help it. I do it with books from Amazon. How could I resist not constantly checking on something like this?! Oh, yeah - I forgot. I'm a geek.

Dang. ;)

Your not SERIOUS!!! I ORDER JAN. 20 and STILLLLLLLLLLLL DIDN'T EVEN GET THE PREPPED FOR SHIPMENT NOTICE... I'M LOSING MY HEAD:mad::mad::mad: gETTING TIRED OF WAITING
 
I have been waiting all day for my beast. It started out today "on the truck" from a town only 30 minutes from here. That was at 9:58 AM. My beautiful 24" Samsung LCD 245bw came this afternoon. WOW! Even on an old PC laptop I use from work...it is beautiful. I can't wait to power it up with the Mac Pro. I will update when it arrives.
