Yeah, I plan to get a D3 once my car payments run out. But dang, that's still way over a year of payments! <br><br>Eric<br><br>I didn't attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying that I approved of it. - Mark Twain<br>

Yeah, well I figure it's the only way to go. That camera is such a killer for the kind of photography that i do, I can't imagine a better choice. I don't want bigger megapixels. I want high ISO performance. And a 35mm 1.4! <br><br><br>Eric<br><br>I didn't attend the funeral, but I sent a nice letter saying that I approved of it. - Mark Twain<br>

i can't order until CDW gets them listed. these machines are shown in the Apple Store as shipping within 24 hours. no CDW, they are still showing the older Mac Pros only. <br><br>hurry up already . . . i want a new machine!!!<br><br>EDIT: i have been checking their Mac store at CDW daily. i should have just used search . . . <a href="http://www.cdw.com/shop/products/default.aspx?EDC=1376440">ta da -- the new Mac Pro</a>. i guess i'll order on Monday is i have time. it's in stock so i'll choose USP ground (delivery in 1 - 2 days) and have it next week. this is exciting.<br><P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by FSM on 01/12/08 01:20 AM (server time).</EM></FONT></P>
Excellent!<br>I think you are smart getting the 8-core 2.8GHz instead of the quad-core.<br>Your computer will be more powerful than the older 8-core Mac Pro which cost $4299.<br><br>My authorized Apple reseller screwed me a little bit.<br>I ordered my built-to-order Mac Pro four days ago. <br>I called them yesterday to ask why I haven't received my invoice via email.<br>Turns out they forgot to send it. <br>I am spending very big money for a bto Mac Pro and they forget to order it.<br><br>
our NIH project is buying this one for me (it's upgrading a dual gig G4). our NIH grant is a small business grant and isn't run through the university. so our business has an account with CDW (so i'll get a discount . . . not EDU discount, but a nice discount anyway). i could buy elsewhere, but i like to save the tax payers a bit of money. <br><br>my school buys my laptops, fwiw.<br><br>
