9800 holdup?
How do you know the 9800 is holding up your order? I got that on my order too and I'm still waiting for my shipment through local Apple reseller, but I thought it was the reseller channel going slow, not the 9800 builds.

well, i dont actually "know" anything about it. i should have just said i assume. because from this post, alot of the people who have gotten their g5's early, didn't have the 9800 card, and as someone was so nice to point out in here, the card is only made for macs, for the g5's right now, so I just figure. Because a lot of the other people seem to have the same configurations as mine, just minus the 9800 card. Mine is scheduled to ship this friday, and i haven't gotten any advanced word, so hopefully it ships then, though im not overly confident

i have been asking everyone, but lucky you. but did you get the 9800 pro card? that's definately what's holding me up, and it kinda sucks seeing everyone get theirs early, mine still says the same ship date, and i dont have a good feeling about it, i have a feeling it's going to take longer
Yes mine is coming with the 9800pro... no modem and no DVD burner since I already have one I might as well save the cash :-D Aside from that its standard...
well, there goes my idea, it most likly isn't the video card, maybe it's the blue tooth, becuase i can't see it being the ram, or the harddrives, and that's about the only different thing i got.
You didn't say but I'm assuming you ordered direct through apple store? If so then that leaves my theory out in the wind that only resellers are behind now. Maybe Apple is doing the best they can delivering a high demand product. I hope this means that total custom ordered Dual G5's pre-ordered will turn out to be well over what's been announced so far.
sorry, I bought mine right from the apple store at www.apple.com/store/ on sept 18th. est ship date is still the 24th, so hopefully it goes then. but yeah, it's ALL g5's not just resellers. well to most people. a lot seem to be getting theirs early, i just haven't.
I bought mine from the apple store on the 7th of this month... It was originaly suppose to ship out on the 29th...
boy am I pissed now. i'd say most people here are getting them early, and i have a very bad feeling i wont even get mine the 24th, im going to call them tonight and make sure everything is going along as planned, and find out what the hell is taking so long, i dont get what they could be in short supply of as it's not the 9800 card, i can't see it being a harddrive or ram, i doubt it's the superdrive, i just dont get what is missing.
bah, i called them, "and blah blah blah, if all goes according to plan it is scheduled to ship out the 24th, and you do have next day so you should have it next monday" BAH! I KNEW THAT! i was hoping they could give me some input, i think in their system they gotta have some sort of notification, like if it's waiting, or put together or anything like that. This has really annoyed me seeing person after person recieve theirs early, and i haven't. I just wish i knew what there was a shortage of, or whats taking so long with mine, where most other people who are receiving them early have pretty much the same configuration. Atleast you aren't getting yours before me Archaeopteryx or i'd be pretty damn annoyed with the apple store.

Ohh no!! Prepare to be mad!!
mine gets here on Saturday :-D Not much before you.. But still, I do swee how that would annoy you.. I for one dont blame you if you are mad at apple, because if you ordered so much before me, in theory you should have gotten it before me too.... but yeah.. mine shipped 10 days ahead.. on the slowest shipping plan though... so I dont get it till saturday.. for now its on the back of a mule walking ever so slowly over here...
haha, nah good for you. i'd be pissed if mine hadn't shipped and you got yours.
But do they ship ups or usps for the standard shipping? because if it goes ups, they dont deliver on saturdays (except saturday delivery, which is quite a bit more and they wont send it that way) so you wouldn't get it till monday, that'd suck. I had to do the next day shipping becuase if i knew that it was put together and just travelling around the country i'd have an aneurism. So eh it's more, but i get it quick and dont freak out waiting.

haha, that's exactly how i felt. I used to check like every half hour atleast, but boy is it worth it when you get it. i just hope they held it back so it has panther pre-installed. i'll know before 10:30 today
!!!See, now I seem to be the one with the right to get REALLY MAD, since mine was a Pre-Order, Paid in full (check) back on July 25 through Apple reseller, and I'm still waiting. All they tell me is mine's "in process" but they've said that now for over 1 week.
Dual 2 Ghz G5 with 9800 with BT and APx installed.
