hah! i love it! just because it would piss off so many members of this forum.
I'm in the mids of building a games console... Core i7 based. Still not found a decent case perhaps that case is sitting right before me.. something like this?
formerly a MacG5 Looks good in black!

Well I don't know the laws there (you're in Japan right?), but I'm pretty sure there are ways for them to get their stuff back. I mean otherwise there are massive loopholes for fraud. Just because they make a mistake doesn't mean the property is now yours. To me it's the same principal/logic as when banks make errors and people assume they will get to keep the money
Not in the US. If you receive something that you didn't order it is considered a gift. They cannot bill you later for something you did not order in the first place. I believe that law would work for situations such as this.

dont worry I'll bring Apples attention to this thread, then they can make their minds up!
Some of the people on this forum are the reason why I'm ashamed to say i'm a fan of apple products and also a human being and I think perhaps need to look at themselves before being so quick to judge others or go running to mummy (apple)
To the OP "Just keep this MP and don't loose any sleep about it and if i was in your position I'd be pissed that it was only a 2.8Ghz system." I would also just ignore some of the clowns on this forum but do keep us updated!! Such as if you ever do get your display and what not.

Just sell your 2nd 2.8ghz mac pro for around $2400 on craigslist locally and just order another 30" ACD and pocket the rest! Merry Christmas indeed!!
That's irrelevant. But if you're so confident, why not write to Apple
and thank them for their "gift" to you. I strongly recommend you do
not seek work as a barrister.
Ultraneo was quoting UK law. I was responding to that. I understand
that Ultraneo was in the UK when the delivery was made. Other posts
support that. E.g.:
Nono, you see a games console is an initial design with a strict set of hardware requirements and set programming language that are maintained for as long as they are mass produced. Mass produced being the keyword here.
What you're planning on there is a gaming quality PC.
This thread is so informative. I trailed off a little to read up on Barristers and Solicitors thanks to Safari's Wikipedia integration. 20 minutes well spent.
This happened to a Friend of mine.
He ordered a new computer and they sent him a $5,000 server. He signed for it and when he opened it saw it was a server. Looked it up online and seen it sold for 5K.
A week later he gets a call saying they want their server back and he plays dumb. They say we know you have the server and they throw out a few threats. About 5 minutes later the guy says Merry Christmas rudely and hangs up.
He sells the server and buys the $1000.00 computer he ordered.

People who pull stunts like this force companies to pass the loss onto the rest of the consumers. In an effort to regain these losses, increased prices are sure to happen, but lowered customer service seems highly probable as well.
And we wonder and complain bitterly why companies get so cheap that they refuse to provide decent service after a purchase?
Now just wait for your second monitor to show up!
Plans for the second machine? Sell it? Keep it?

That is the second monitor.
Not sure... Maybe I'll give it away! or use it as a spare.
Not much...but why not drop another 30GB in there and have a MacRumors contest to win it?
If I had 30Gb, I'd install it into my main system.
Just for the fun!!
Out of toys?!?If I had 30Gb, I'd install it into my main system.

Time to go shopping then.
Or gut something lying around in a pinch.
I meant your free monitor showing up that you didn't order!
If that happens, I would be ecstatic.
If you did decide to part that sucker out to use the shell as a PC, you could probably get a pretty penny for the processors and the heatsinks from quad people wanting to upgrade.
Eh? Sorry, I think you've misread.
I ordered one MacPro and received two systems.
The display that I did order turned up a week later!
